Recently I bought a 40oz water bottle at Target. In my opinion, it’s totally worth it. You can understand though, why I was so upset WHEN I DROPPED IT. I was having a day that day. I was dropping everything. Now mind you, this is a solid, matte tumbler, so when there’s a dent, you can see it. Luckily it didn’t get too busted up because I might have cried. I was looking at it after I picked it up to inspect it and I was like, well it has some dents now, but that’s okay, it still works. It wasn’t until I showed my friend where she dropped a wisdom bomb on me that I realized it’s really okay. She said it has personality now, to which I said, just because it’s a little busted up, doesn’t mean it’s not useful. I still really love it.
Now, let’s take the tumbler out of the equation, and let’s, for ha-ha’s, bring it to a more personal level. Just because you have some bumps, and lumps, and bruises, or some other imperfection, does not mean that you are useless, or less beautiful. Men I’m talking to you too. Beauty isn’t what’s on the outside. It’s what’s on the inside. You can be pretty or handsome, but still be ugly. Don’t worry too much about the physical appearance. Worry about what’s on the inside. That’s what’s useful. Are you a good listener, are you kind, are you wise, or generous, or intelligent? That’s what matters. The right people will gravitate towards you when you start showcasing that more than your body. I’m speaking from experience. Do you have to take my word for it? No. Absolutely not. And that’s not my goal. My goal is to give you something to reflect on in times of need. In times of change. I’m here to help guide you. We all have our own lives we need to live, our own mistakes and lessons, but we also need guidance. A little voice in the back of our heads (the Holy Spirit for my believers) to help us make difficult decisions. Or perhaps lend some courage and love. So moral of the story, just because you have imperfections, it does not make you less worthy of love.
With light and love, Lyss
