Self-esteem plummeted for no discernable reason this evening. It's a sucky feeling.
I'm the kind of person that finds beauty in people that don't look "beautiful" to everyone else. If someone has a great personality trait that makes them inside-beautiful, I look at them and physically think they're outside-beautiful too.
Some people just look like themselves, and their look is so unique that it makes them beautiful.
Since I generally regard myself as a good person, and a happy person, I can usually find some kind of quirky beauty in myself, even though I know I'm not the conventional kind of beautiful.
But then, I guess, I'll just look at a picture and think "GOD, why do I LOOK like that?" my forehead, my nose, my eyes, my lips, my skin, my eyebrows, everything. Everything is wrong! My forehead is too big, my nose is too big, my eyes are too droopy, my lips are weirdly-shaped, my teeth are ugly and off-center, my smile is crooked, my skin is blemished, I've got two wrinkles on my forehead, and my eyebrows never behave.
Okay, so how am I supposed to love that?
And on most days, I don't see the imperfections. I can't imagine living every day like that. No wonder people go on those extreme makeover shows.
