From My Diary: Introspection

Two words,” Hey Handsome”, occasionally thrown my way. Something I could never feel or believe. Could it be that someone actually found me attractive or perhaps that I really was? Why was it so important to me? How did I come to believe that my self worth was measured only by appearance? Still, I longed for beauty. “Hey Handsome”, I’d hear. But all I could see were lips that were too big and ears that were uneven or a chin that was too weak. I looked in the mirror today: “Hey Handsome” I said to myself. Not sure if I believed it. But I can say that I like myself and I’ve learned a bit more about what really counts. So the next time, I hear “Hey Handsome”, I’ll just say, “Thank You” 11/2/17 For Contest: From My Diary Sponsor: Broken Wings
