Sometimes I Feel Plain Too.

@rupikaur_ gets me.

I felt this way a lot growing up,
Not quite the same but similar.
Over the years I’ve grown to accept myself, be comfortable in my own skin and to realize that I’m actually quite a looker.

But I have days when I feel I can be as colourful as some of the friends I keep.
That I pale in comparison to them.
Those days come and go leaving a bitter taste in my mouth.

I’m currently writing something I plan to title “sometimes I feel plain too”. Maybe I’ll end up completing this one or maybe not.

But this one is for everyone else who sometimes feel plain too.

One of the lessons I’m constantly re-learning is you can’t ignore what you feel for too long.
You see this self acceptance thing is a journey and it starts with making peace with the chaos inside your chest.  Even the most self confident people have doubts sometimes but it doesn’t make them any less self confident.

The most important thing is that you learn not to stay down for too long, to shake off that feeling because after all is said and done, you have yourself to take care of.

Always remember you don’t quite need anyone’s validation of your beauty. Never let it become a drug you can’t live without. Be your own kind of beautiful.

Happy new month.
May your days be filled with light
