In my eyes

I am more than the outward shell.  I am more than an article about what I should look like. I am more than a reflexion in the mirror.  I am responsible to know that my self-worth is not defined by other people.  I am responsible to teach my child that self-worth comes from within.  That what you look like and what you are, are not dictated by what other people think of you are or what they do.  I am responsible for showing those that are around me that I love them for them and not for who they think they need to be.  I am responsible for respecting the difference there are in the people I know and meet.  I am responsible for me temper and attitude, but not for yours. I can't make everyone happy, because I can't make you happy, I can only provide an experience that I hope you enjoy.  

Just so you know...I am me just me.  Some of you might think I am too honest.  Some might think I am too religious or faithful.  Some might think I am fat.  Ugly. Have bad hair. Not what you want me to be.

But I am me.  Someone comfortable with herself, body, mind and soul.  

But also - If I am constantly thinking negatively about myself,  I portray that.  If I constantly talk about my weight, my child hears that. If I speak bad of others, she will too.  I am no longer just me, I am a we and I am responsible to show her where beauty comes from.  Where self worth comes from. That differences are healthy. That genuine people are rare but we can be that, even imperfectly.
