What exactly is an imperfection? Why do we see them so negatively? Why are we always striving for the unattainable? If you have a scar on your face or a birthmark on your back that is my favorite thing about you. Scars are memories. I love every single scar on my body because they remind me of something. It's amazing how they are able to bring back so many emotions, good or bad. It's like hearing a song and being taken back to the moment you first heard it, same concept. Birthmarks or freckles or moles or any other "imperfections" on your body are little kisses left from the past. What if the amount of freckles you have is the amount of lives you've lived, the way you can tell a ladybugs age by it's spots or a trees age by it's rings. Our matter is continuously recycled back into the Earth. Every molecule that you breathe, has been a part of someone or something else. Past lives aren't so far fetched. Everything in nature is organic, it's perfectly imperfect. Which is why perfection is so hard to achieve, because it doesn't truly exist. But then again how do you differentiate what really exists and what's made up? Words for instance were all made up. Think about it. Numbers and letters don't exist in nature, neither does language. But we had to make up these things to make sense of it all, so we could count the flowers and describe the moon. Because everything that ever was or ever will be is ever changing, ever evolving. We started out as nothingness in an extremely dense state, which overtime expanded forming subatomic particles. After thousands of years these particles turned to atoms, which turned to elements, which, through gravity, formed galaxies and stars, which eventually formed us. We are star dust, star stuff. How can you not love your flaws knowing that? They don't really exist, it's something we've made up because we have the idea in our heads that we should be a certain way, look a certain way. We constantly trying to obtain perfection. We think that anything different is ugly, when in reality it is just the opposite. "Imperfection is beauty." Embrace what ya got going on. Don't let anyone put you down, or make you feel bad about yourself. Look in the mirror every day and say "I is kind, I is smart, I is important." Then realize that has nothing to do with anything I just talked about and go watch The Help. Or better yet read the book. Reading is cool.
