A little lady with big insecurities.

I believe that every person on this planet would change at least one small thing about themselves if given the chance. It may not be huge, or necessary, but given the chance we would all do a little tweeking. For me, one of those big insecurities has been my Widow's Peak. Now, some of you may not know what a Widow's Peak is, but it is when the hair line comes down and meets at a point. Most commonly it's been seen in movies on Vampires and Werewolves...real cute, Hollywood. In high school I was dreadfully ashamed of my widow's peak and never let anyone see it. I was always so jealous of the girls who were able to tie all of their hair up in a tight ponytail. As I've grown up into the 21 year old that I am, I have slowly been trying to pull back the layers of all my insecurities and learn to accept them. So recently, I decided that even if it took a head scarf and a confident day..I was going to pull my hair back in a tight ponytail. So, I did. It felt so amazing. I know that not everyone who saw me thought it looked beautiful, but damnit if I didn't feel good. I know some days it feels impossible to love yourself, so slowly start working on one flaw at a time. These traits we deam "flaws" are what make you, you. They will be the reason someone falls in love with you. I am a firm believer in the idea that we are only as strong as our weakest points. And although we may not be able to make our "flaws" our strongest points...we can definitely at least make them stronger. Embrace a part of you today. Show it off. If you got it, flaunt it. And, my personal favorite....WERQ IT!
