So I saw this quote on someone's Facebook and I thought "Yes!" I think that many times people - both men and women- are just really hard on themselves. We can love other people despite and because of their flaws but we refuse to love ourselves with the same abandon. It is OK we have imperfections. This is what makes us uniquely us. I am someone who may be described as always having a smile, energetic and bright but I am also often moody, talk way too much and speak way too fast. You know what? That is all OK. I like who I am. This doesn't mean I can't grow and change but it means I get to love even the part of myself that is less likeable. Try accepting and showing yourself at least the compassion you would show a stranger. Your flaws (real or perceived) are part of the amazing mosaic of you! Love yourself - with abandon.
*The quote on the picture is...*
“Let someone love you just as you are. As flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you might feel, as unaccomplished as you might think you are; let someone love you just as you are. And let that someone be you. “ Sandra Kring (www.sandrakring.com)
