I feel just the same. Somehow we all hate ourselves and love others. We are never short of compliments for other people, but we barely ever give one to ourselves. And everyone does that, even the most beautiful attractive people.
And then there are some people, who are just so comfortable being themselves that their attractive quotient shoots up without them trying. I would always look up to such girls in my school and wonder when would I be so comfortable with myself. I thought maybe when I would weigh x kgs and have a lot less hairs and wear nice clothes, I would be just like them.
But now, I don’t want to depend on these external factors to feel good about myself. I sure do feel great when I wear a beautiful dress and look pretty. But I feel great even when I am just in my pyjamas with my hair dishevelled and not a hint of makeup. Only yesterday, I caught a glimpse of me in the mirror and could not help but smile. I felt great from within. I felt the kind of selfless love I have only felt for other people so far. I don’t know or care if that makes me sound narcissist. I am finally in love, and this is the one true love I was always craving for. And the truth is, I didn’t magically transform to fall in love with myself. I just fell for myself the way I was. As Bruno Mars would have said it: When I see your face, there’s not a thing that I would change. Coz you’re amazing just the way you are ☺
