just went through my pictures to try and get some order and I have come to realize that I love my face. While moving pics to other folders I had to create a folder named “my face” because I have a rather large collection of pictures of myself.
Now you may say “Jesus Theresa, you are pretty vain!” and you know I would agree with you but I like to take pictures of my make-up. I got in the habit a long time ago to taking pictures of make-up looks for a make-up group. It was girls and guy sharing make-up tips and showing off their latest looks. It’s been a while since I have been part of this group but I still take pictures if I love the look.
I may not be the prettiest girl and I never had a ton of self-esteem but I would be lying if I say I hate my face. I love making myself over with beautiful colour eye-shadow and I enjoy looking at my own face. It’s my face, I have had this face my entire life, I look at this face every day, it would be a shame if when I looked upon my reflection and hated what I saw so I am glad I enjoy my face.
I have MASSIVE green eyes with long straight lashes; I have my great grandmother’s nose and tiny almost non existing lips that have been scared up from falling on my face as a child. I have a round head, big chubby RED cheeks and a double chin if I don’t take the picture at just the right angle. Somewhat nice shaped eyebrows and pin straight hair the colour of whatever I decided to colour it at the time to frame it all. This is my face, it is starting to show some signs of aging but not too much for a 31 year old and I am grateful.
I don’t know how or when I started to love my own face; I have managed to overcome self esteem issues and depression without medication. I didn’t need a boy or any person to tell me how beautiful I was, I did it myself. So why is it so hard for others to do the same and see their own beauty in the mirror? If anyone is reading this, I ask that you all go to the mirror, look at your face and tell yourself you are beautiful!! Stop comparing yourselves to Photoshopped models in magazines because NOONE is that perfect, not even the models themselves.
