You have struggled your whole life with self-image issues. You don't see how perfectly imperfect you are, my dear. Your flaws are what makes you beautiful and unique. They show the hardship you've endured and they may not be the things you define as beautiful, but to your loved ones they are what makes you... you! Beauty is not just skin deep it goes beyond that.

Your heart shows your true colors. You have become the woman many have crafted you to be. Your parents, siblings, grandparents, ex-friends, ex-boyfriends, current friends and boyfriend, and many others who were just passing through. They may not have realized then what they were doing, but through every heartbreak, hardship, adventure, laughs, tears, and gestures of affection, they shaped you.

They prepared you to be this woman; this perfectly imperfect woman many look up to. You have been guided to live this journey called life. Your worth is not defined by others, my dear. Your worth is truly defined by how you love and see yourself.

How you feel about yourself at the end of the day when you glance in the mirror. That woman. You are beautiful beyond comparison, smart, kind-hearted, and just liked those who shaped you, you have shaped others. You are the best version of yourself and it can only go uphill from here. So keep your chin up darling. Don't be ashamed of that woman in the mirror.

Every smile, loud laugh, and maybe even your breakdowns, someone loves you for all of you. Maybe just maybe someone fell in love with one or all of those things. "She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future."

Sincerely,

Another Perfectly Imperfect Woman
