Flaws and All - Love
Today I read a quote that really spoke to me, it said "The greatest challenge in lifei s trying to find someone who knows all your flaws, differences & mistakes yet still loves everything about you." I feel like this is one of societies greatest faults today. Some big "important" people out there, set these rediculously high standards, that we all naturally buy into, that make it unrealistically difficult for anyone to be happy with themselves, or better yet happy with someone else the way they are. People strive to perfect the way they look, not to make themselves happy, but to satisfy a person of romantic interest. We spend so much time, effort, and money on making ourselves pretty, and even more time and effort on hiding our flaws so we can be loved. We idealize stars and idols and try to immitate everything from the way they act and the way they live to the way they look, all for love. Is it so farfetched to think that the only person you need to look good for is yourself? Is it even more out of whack that I don't want to hide my flaws to get someone to love me and care about me? It's upsetting that this in fact is one of the greatest challenges to face. I want someone to fall in love with me, when I'm not wearing makeup, when I'm acting like my goofy dorky self, and when I'm even at my weakest moment. I want someone to fall in love with me flaws and all. I dream of the day when someone finds my faults and quirky qualities cute, someone who can call me beautiful after a day of screaming crying or even a horrible cold. Someday... I just want to overcome lifes biggest challenge, because I refuse to lose faith that someone out there will actually love me for me.
