Just want to say
you are beautiful
you are a beautiful human person
but I accept that you do not feel that
sometimes
a lot of the time
most people I talk to
and ask
do not 'feel' beautiful
Just like me
sometimes.
but I 'believe' I am
I have decided
and that helps
I don't like what I see in the mirror
but I believe I am beautiful
I accepted myself when I was 40-ish
I became an adult when I was
40-ish
I decided to tell everyone they are beautiful - when I was
40-ish
Feelings go
up
down
swirl
linger bad
linger negative
linger high
linger low
linger positive.
feelings are important and I believe we need to clock them
and own them
and recognise them.
Sense them
Own them
Articulate them
Words attached to them
be assertive with them
Then the part of us which
thinks
evaluates
reflects
collects all the evidence together
to make decisions
understand
direct
........................ that is the human part of us which is there to say
'yes'
those feelings are real and say something
but I believe I am beautiful
I can change
I can not only
'be'
but also
'become'
The journey into wholeness
one step at a time
never
reaching completion
always
beautiful imperfection.
That is my - me - at the moment.
Still journeying
Still yearning
Still OK but still restless in my incompleteness
my
imperfection
but the main thing
It is in my beautiful imperfection.
You are beautiful
believe it
you are beautiful
