From seeing my counselor I am learning that it is alright to love myself! I always thought people that said that were egocentric!! "up themselves" would have been a phrase I would have used!
But in not loving myself, in not taking care of myself I found myself in a barren place. Slowly, but surely, I am learning to appreciate the creature that God created...........in his image! I might never make a size 10 jeans, My hair might go completely grey within the next few years, I can't stop the wrinkles..........BUT.... I am a pretty nice person! and life is good and I want to enjoy every second of it....
That's why I love the song, "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilira
Spoken:
Don't look at me

Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, i saw debris
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...

No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay


And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times

'cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
