I was 18 years old before I realized that other people saw me as pretty
But still took years to really believe it, I remember telling my first bf " only you think that" when he tried to compliment me
I remember being shocked that people wrote that they thought I was pretty in my yearbook senior year
I never thought people could see past my CP/ shy girl persona
Only few and far between got to see my true fun loving goofy self
I learned that making myself small, quiet, and nice made it so I got picked on less
But I sacrificed people getting to know who I really was
I thought my baby dinosaur hand/ lucky fin/ bad arm plus limp would disqualify me as beautiful on the outside so I focused on the inside
Plus I look like I have a black eye if I don't have make up on lol
But that's the thing, people don't see your flaws the way you do
You may magnify them and make them qualify you as a reason that you are less attractive or worthy
But other people don't see it that way
Sometimes your inner beauty shines through to your outer beauty
To be able to look at yourself in the way that the people you love do would be a blessing
You may just find the things you hate about yourself are actually what makes you so loveable
Maybe your quirks and flaws is what makes you beautiful
Because we all have imperfections
What a beautiful thing it is to realize that you are worthy just the way you are as your most authentic self
What a beautiful thing it is to realize that no one can hurt you with truth you have already accepted about yourself and are working on improving
