My mother sat me
down and said, "You are beautiful to me but must know that
you are beautiful for yourself. You should also be aware that
true beauty is in the eye of the beholder, which means that how
beautiful you are to other people is always going to be
subjective to who is looking at you at that time, and since you
will always be looking at yourself first, you should find your
own beauty and feel good about who you are." She went on to
tell me that I needed to take the time to identify those things
that I found beautiful about myself but also celebrate what I
thought was weird or unusual because those were the special
things that God had given to me that made me different from
everybody else. I learned how to appreciate , embrace, and
enhance those things so that they would shine rather than be
hidden. We learned to love and identify with what made us
uniquely beautiful."
