Just The Way You Are

"When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change, because you're amazing, just the way you are..."

This should be something that we all know, and all accept about ourselves. But how many among us, especially among us girls, can honestly say that this is the case? How many of us can look in the mirror on an average day and say to ourselves: yeah, you're actually amazing.
Here's the irratating thing though; it's true!! God created each one of us individually and beautifully because he loves each one of us. It says in the Bible we are all "fearfully and wonderfully made" meaning God wanted us exactly how we are. Somehow, we should be content with that, but I would definately be the pot calling the kettle black if I told you I, somehow, had this feeling nailed. I just wanted you to know that you are incredible, because I really believe it's true. I look at people I know and love, and I know that God made them the way they are, and he loves them just for that! It's hard to grasp, but I want you all to know that. However, like I said, it's not the easiest thing to realise about yourself.
Which brings me to my next point; when other people make you feel like that. Let me please point to the obvious example: boys. Sometimes, it is other people who make you realise you're amazing the way you are. You know, sometimes it's when a guy holds you in his arms, or it's when a guy tells you you're beautiful, or it's when a guy sparks such a nympholepsy inside you, that you can't contain the butterflies in your stomach, sometimes it's when these things happen that you truly realise, you are amazing the way you are. I know I speak from experience here, when I say that one of the most incredible feelings in the world, is when the boy I'm crazy about looks me in the eyes, and tells me I look amazing. Or when he holds me in his arms and gives me a kiss that takes my breath away. I know I can truly be myself around him, and I'm so lucky to be the girl he looks at... But I'm getting sidetracked!
I guess I'm trying to make two points here.
1) Somehow, we need to grasp the fact that we are beautiful, and we are amazing, without being solely reliant on others to enforce it, especially guys. Simply because it is true.
2) If you are a guy, and you have a girl, make sure she knows you think she is amazing just the way she is, because you have no idea, and I mean seriously no idea, just how incredible that feeling is.

Word of the Day: nympholepsy (couldn't be more fitting for today, I've got to be honest!)
