In our world today, many are striving for perfection, and in many ways we believe it is attainable. For instance our bodies. If we can afford the price, most things about our bodies can be fixed. The problem that I see with all of this is we are taking our uniqueness away. If every girl on the block has had a boob job and lipo, then what separates us from each other. To be able to see all of the beauty in our world and truly appreciate it, we need to begin by seeing the beauty in our flawed selves. We all have our little quirks, whether it;s biting our nails or anorexia. These things consume our lives, and we constantly beat ourselves up about them. What if for one day we only thought positive things about ourselves, and only complimented our bodies, even on the things that normally bother us. Can you imagine how proudly we would carry ourselves if we could just see the beauty in us. To have our world function we need people that do every task. So what if your neighbor is the perfect little wife and mother, she doesn't have the career that you have and affect people in the way that you do. What if everyday each of us vowed to wake up and put our best foot forward in all things. I have finally come to terms with the fact that I am who I am. I am a girl who married far too young and changed. I am a woman who thought that being a mother could fix everything, and it didn't. I am now a person who has chosen to go out into the world everyday with a smile. I hug my babies a little tighter every chance I get. I make sure the people who are important to me know that, even if it's in a crazy cheesy text. I allow myself time to love myself, and I don't feel guilty about it. I surrender to the fact that I'm human, and that I'm not really the best at most things, but I am most definitely the perfect ME!!!
