Ever feel unpretty? Always finding something wrong with you? "I wish I could tie you up in my shoes make you feel unpretty too, I was told I was beautiful but what does that mean to you?" EVERYONE has flaws it is up to you to accept them, love them, and know that they make you who you are... Media says skinny is sexy but there are skinny girls who want to be thicker, thicker girls who are wanting to loose weight etc...but the key is to be HEALTHY no matter what size you are... You can buy hair, make up, eye lashes, etc to help with appearance BUT at the end of the day you need to be ok with the way God made you because you have to take all that stuff of and when you look in the mirror it should be an image you instead of one that repulses you... Work on you from the inside and it will SHINE on the outside... How can you expect someone to love something you don't even love? "But the highest people up got the lowest self esteem, the prettiest people do the ugliest ...
Been busy all weekend so I finally got around to getting on my blog and reading up on your latest updates.
ReplyDeleteI came across this question and found it to be very interesting and oh so true!
I think, in my opinion, that we sometimes get 'spoiled' and/or 'too comfortable' by/with those who do good to us and wind up finding it necessary to nitpick at them.
I have done the exact same thing presented in the scenario more than a time or two. And truthfully (and sadly) I find that I did it simply..because I can.
I guess, going back to the 'too comfortable' comment earlier, when we get to that certain level of comfortability with someone (anyone really but of course, the opposite sex in particular) we start to subconsciously get 'bored' (or I suppose 'used to' can also be used in place of bored) with all the good that they do to us. And this boredom clearly leads up to nothing good because at that point we start to seek for the one thing (as you said) that is wrong with the person and when we find it, we dwell on it and make it the biggest deal in the world.
On the other hand, speaking personally from an experience, when it comes to those who treat us wrongly, we don't have time to be bored with them because they are constantly throwing us curve balls which are keeping us on our toes. What happens though, amidst all the bad treatment, is that we constantly wind up giving excuses for their behavior because secretly we are hoping that one day they will "change" and some "good" will come out of them. We stick around (granted, for a lot longer than we should or they deserve) hanging onto that hope.
Well, I've rambled on a while...just wanted to pitch in my two cents! :-)
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!!
