Just As You Are

So, I just found out about August McLaughlin's wonderful Beauty of a Woman Blogfest and I decided to jump on the bandwagon, albeit a little too late to officially participate, but hey, it's never to late to celebrate inner beauty! Make sure you visit her blog tomorrow to win some prizes and read some amazing blog posts!

I have a lot of trouble excepting myself as I am, but I'm trying very hard. I'm trying to accept my too-round face, my uncooperative hair, and even those extra pounds that seem to follow me around wherever I go. I'm trying to accept my imperfections and accept myself Just As I Am.

There is a part in Bridget Jones' Diary that has been one of my absolute favorite scenes since the moment I saw it. It made my heart melt and my goal in life is to find a guy exactly like him. He sees all her flaws, but still he loves her, just as she is.
