its about damn time

It’s about time I start loving myself

The scars that cover my body, making me look worn
The way my face wrinkles when i'm really smiling 
My imperfect, pale skin that turns red from being in the sun too long
The waves and curls in my hair that never seem to cooperate
My tendency to laugh at things that aren’t at all funny 
My desire to be different
The caring nature that I was blessed with
The passion that has been planted in my heart for the things I love

All of it 

I am going to love every single aspect 
Of my heart
Of my mind
And of my body 

Because I am beautifully and wonderfully made
And it’s about damn time I start believing it

Just think of it ... if everyone loved themselves like you want to, would anyone want to declare war or or fight or even work in armaments factories? Wouldn't the world be a better place if there was a pinch of self-love in all of us?

You must spend hours with pen and paper! (or a laptop) lol...I wish I could read it all, but they all are so youthfully honest and contemplative. I would love to see you write about something simple...I think you would make something beautiful from: a rain puddle, a feather, a sunset, a teardrop etc. Try it! For you, not me.
