Comfy skin

This really has nothing to do with my post.. but I thought it would give you something to think about :)

A friend of mine posted about being comfortable in her own skin. 

Not worrying about how pretty the next person looks, 

but seeing her own beauty. --

This made me think about how I view myself. (Or at least how I've viewed myself in the past, I've gotten a lot better. )

It used to be.. when I looked in the mirror.. if there was any chance I'd even remotely like what I see, I'd have to have makeup on. 

But now.. I'm pretty close to comfortable in my own skin. 

Sure I'll see some girl whose flawless without a stitch of makeup on and think "Man... why can't I look like that?? ", but then I realize.. 

I am me. 

I have brown curly/frizzy hair. 

Red cheeks.

Braces.

Pale, untanable skin.

I'm okay with that. 

I love my hair.. I would be sad if it was straight.

My red cheeks are okay...besides a little powder goes a long way. 

I won't have braces forever. 

Pale skin is fine. I can't change it. So why stress about it?

 

I am beautiful! 

God made me in His image.

I'm not something to be rated against another person. 

Just because I know or see beautiful people doesn't mean that I'm not beautiful too.

I'm unique. 

I have my own style. 

My own thoughts and beliefs. 

I'm an individual.  

Just how I like it. 

Love always,
