Have you ever looked at someone and thought, “How are you so perfect?” So full of flaws, yet so flawless; looking straight through them; directly into their soul and seeing the purity that they possess?
There isn’t a single human on this planet that doesn’t have shortcomings. However, I guarantee that there is that one person that comes to your mind when you hear the word “flawless.”
There comes a time in our lives when we stop enlarging and focusing on those imperfections, and we start seeing through them.
One of my favorite sayings is, “don’t ever water yourself down to make yourself more digestible for others.” Remember, you are not everyone’s cup of tea, but you are someone’s shot of whiskey.
In due time, someone is going to make you feel like nobody else has ever dreamt of making you feel before. They are going to look so far beyond your weaknesses-your imperfections, so deep into your soul, that even you, yourself will feel unflawed.
While loving yourself will always need to be at the forefront, you will always see your own foibles. That is, until someone makes them all disappear.
I know that a love like this seems unrealistic, maybe even impossible. Impossible to find, impossible to feel. I know how hard it can be to feel that you are worthy of being loved like this. However, I also know that it’s out there. It may be staring you in the eyes right now as you read this. Pay attention, because they are.
They are paying attention to every little detail of you. Details that you may feel don’t matter. Such as the way your forehead scrunches when you’re concentrating really hard, or the way you squint your eyes when you’re trying to understand something. It might be the way you talk about one thing but they pick up on an aspect of your life that you never disclosed. Or more so, the tone in which you respond to them and they immediately know that something is bothering you.
If someone thrives on resurfacing your every weakness, let them go. You know they are there, everybody knows they are there, but nobody needs to draw attention to them.
Everyone is flawless to someone. YOU are flawless to someone. Patience is a virtue. Be patient.
It’s Okay.
It’s Okay Not To Be
