I want to let y'all in on a little secret. I drool. Like a mad man.
Yes, it's true. Anyone that has fallen asleep next to me knows that it's kind of like falling asleep in Lake Michigan.
Ok, it's not that bad.
Why am I even telling you this?
Because I'm trying to become comfortable with everything I am.
I know that there's things about me that are far from perfect. I know that I have a lot of flaws. I know there are things I need to fix.
But, as the dentist once told me, I have some excellent salivary glands. And I don't think that's really fixable. And I don't think it needs to be.
People are too dang hard on themselves.
Guilty as charged.
It doesn't help that we live in a society that makes it seem that the only acceptable thing to be "perfect". Perfect teeth, perfect hair, perfect muscle definition, perfect car, perfect job, perfect everything. Or morbidly obese. Take your pick.
Not that I'm proud of my drooling, or particularly enjoy it, but I'm ok with it. Not like it's hurting anyone.
It's good to be comfortable in our own skin and stop trying to fix things about ourselves that don't need to be fixed.
I think people are generally pretty unhappy because they're not content with being who they are. So I'm going to focus on loving the weird things about me that make me... well, ME :)
So you
-Yes, YOU-
Should go look in the mirror (or in my case, my pillow) and name off one thing that you like about you, or one thing that shouldn't bother you about you.
Own up to being you.
It's a good thing.
Today's mushy, love-yourself post was brought to you by the letter V and the number 14. It is February after all.
