i’m glad you did this post! this is why i think blogging is so wonderful, not everyone is a freaking supermodel. there is so much insecurity we are surrounded by and it makes me sad. but i will tell you this. i am very secure about my image surrounding my style but when it comes to my looks i am aging and not as “pretty” as i used to be and have some insecurity about it. well the other day i get a hater comment from someone saying that “they can’t figure out if i’m a girl or a guy” and that shit ate me up for a while. i like the fact that i have a unique look and have always sort of prided myself on it, but for someone to be so cruel? wow! and i can understand the person not wanting there pic up. we do all have our own insecurities about ourselves and like you said, it’s interesting because you were thinking the exact opposite. how do we get to a place where we feel completely comfortable and secure? i live in los angeles where it is ten times worse. if you are 25 you must start getting botox. it’s ridiculous. sorry this is a novel and all over the place. totally venting. i love your blog so much gorgeous!!

what a wonderful post! as a wardrobe consultant…it is sad to see how many women do not see their beauty…and the beauty is that we are all different…and thank god for that!
most women see their “flaws” magnified compared to how others view them…
as women…we tend to be so critical of ourselves…magazines don’t help…but we can help each other…by pointing out the good in each other!

Oh, what a lovely post.

I think we are always so self critical, all we see is perceived flaws and not what others see.

I always see big nose, fat chin! It’s hard to keep a positive mind set.

Great post. I do admit I fall into that state of mind when I hate seeing pictures of myself on Facebook but I have always had self-esteem issues :/ I now make an effort to feel good about myself as opposed to always being down :] .-= Jackie´s last blog ..Shining Like Studs =-.

What a fantastic post! It’s true that sometimes it takes another person to point out someones beauty.
Everyone has insecurities and I remember when I first started my blog, I was wary about posting up my picture…worried that I wasn’t as pretty or as tall as most of the other bloggers. I now know that it doesn’t matter and that no matter what, people like you for you.

Glendy this is a beautiful and inspiring post.

It’s sort of funny, I think everyone goes through their silly days when they don’t feel pretty. I think it can even be due to your mood. Sometimes when I wake up I’m just like “blaaaa I feel like crap today” Then other days I feel great.

Everyone is different and you are absolutely right, people should embrace what they have.

xoxo P.S you my dear are gorgeous ;-)

This is a great post! I used to feel shy about posting pictures of myself on my blog, but now I'm like whatever because I love who I am and that's really all that matters. This was a really great message for young women! .-= Sweety P´s last blog ..Coming Out of My Turtle Shell =-.
