I never really loved someone
until I loved myself.
Every flaw--
my sloppy smile
curved back
voice
hair
stomach
eyes
skin
toes
breasts
hands
and butt--
made me cry
until I decided that perfection
is just a bunch of little
itty
bitty
imperfections all
stitched together.
So next time I look in the mirror
I can look at
my sloppy smile
curved back
voice
hair
stomach
eyes
skin
toes
breasts
hands
and butt
and love every little bit of it.
My submission to the :iconmental-illnessclub: contest "I Can Love Myself."

I struggled with how I looked for years and hated eveything about me. That was until last year, when someone told me that You can't truly love others until you love youself.

So now I try to do that, and I love it. Try it sometime :]

it's not my best, but I like it :]
