"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection." -Buddha

I am going to say this from the start: You are beautiful.

I truly understand how difficult it is to love and believe in yourself. But beauty? that's a difficult subject to ponder on. Beauty is different for everyone; for some people, beauty can be make-up, hair all done up nice and fancy, and wearing the latest trending clothes and jewellery. Or for some it could be no make-up and whatever makes you comfortable. Beauty is complex.

Just like for me. Someone I know likes me, and thinks I am the most gorgeous person in the world. I honestly don't believe I am. I feel like I could work on my image, then I could be somewhat gorgeous. The thing with people is that we get so comfortable with ourselves to the point where we don't see beauty, we see flaws. But when someone looks at you, someone with hope and desire, it's a new face, a new laugh, a new smile, new eyes and hair, just perfection.

Seeing our own flaws may be worse then others seeing them. What others think of you is not important, it is what you think of yourself. Remember, if someone puts you down, it is because they are jealous for what they do not have, compared to yourself; but when someone calls you beautiful, even gorgeous, it feels great, does it not? So why can't you tell yourself that you're beautiful, and feel great about it? When you stand in front of that mirror, and stare at your small jawline, or your freckles, or the birthmark on your cheek, why can't you realize that this is something special. You were created in a way to be unique, to be something else. On the inside we all have the same structure, but on the outside we something powerful, we all have beauty.

Flaws are Beauty; but Beauty is Flawed.

"You may look in the mirror and see Flaws, but someone else can see complete Beauty." -Unknown.

Once you learn to love your flaws, you can be whosoever you would like to be. But that my friend, is indeed a difficult task. Let me tell you something though. Do not listen to other people's negative comments, you know they're lying. Look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you are beautiful. Do activities that make you feel beautiful. Please believe someone when they compliment you - Whether they say you're cute, or it be that you're gorgeous.

But let me tell you as well. You are Beautiful, inside and out.

And don't you ever worry about what other people think; they want what you have.

Love is the key.
