Imperfections

Everyone knows that no one is perfect, but we never stop trying. And sometimes we judge one another, love people less and think less of ourselves and others 'cos of our flaws.
   They say your perception of others is a reflection of your struggle within yourself. Many times we're a thousand times more critical about judging ourselves, and it ends up affecting how we look at people around us.
   "Your pores are too large", "your teeth aren't white enough", "your waist is too wide". I want you to remember that no one looks at you that closely, and all that envy, insecurity and jealousy isn't because of what the other person is. It is because of what you are inside. And I want you to change that.
   Alot of times people say. "Omg you're so perfect" and we cant accept these complements because we know our flaws more than anyone else. And if people call you fat, ugly, skinny, unattractive...you have to remember that it means nothing if you don't think it/believe it yourself.
   I like to think of myself as beautifully flawed. You know. Like when an elephant makes an abstract painting and it just happens to be beautiful? That way it helps me accept my flaws more and think of myself as unique and rare instead of weird.
   And when we treat people less because of their imperfections or when someone breaks up with their partner 'cos they found someone more beautiful/attractive/popular. Or when we obsess over that celebrity because we think they are perfect, we must remember that no one is. And we must accept ourselves and others as they are.
