It's true...I took this photo inspired by another flickr girl where the caption was "she didn't find much beauty in herself"...this is for "her".
It's there...we just have to find it. Find "our" beauty. Not the beauty someone else says it should be. Not what we think other people think beauty is.
I think many of us have struggled with this at some point in life...I have.
I was so carefree as a teen. So confident in myself and I didn't care what people thought.
And then, later I let someone tell me "well maybe you should care what people think, how else will you grow as a person!"
I realize now that it was just pure negativity on their part.
And I wasted a lot of time with that way of thinking.
At times I wondered what people thought of my hair, my clothes, my home, my kids, my body, my nose, my boobs, my family.
But now, I'm back to my teen ways of thinking and it's liberating.
I was asked to be the guest designer for the Art Is Found blog...
and I thought this layout was perfect timing...
I hope you are finding beauty within yourself...
it's there...
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL...
no matter what "they" say!
