My Perfect Imperfections

"My Perfect Imperfections" is a tag that is circulating around Youtube.  Since I don't have a Youtube account, I thought it would be a fun thing to blog about.


Everyone has things that they dislike about themselves, but it's important to remember the quirky things that make you YOU.  This tag is all about embracing who you are.  How it works is you list five things that you dislike about yourself and five things that make you unique.  So let's begin, shall we?


Dislikes:
1. The squiggly vains beneath my eyes that no amount of makeup will cover...they make me feel (and look) like a zombie.
2.  My forehead. Or more appropriately named, my fivehead.  Not only do I feel that it's rather large, but my baby hairs are blonde and give the illusion of a receding hairline...haha.
3.  I've come to the realization I will never have abs.  Probably due to the fact that I don't put much effort into them, but that's beside the point...
4.  My oily skin.  Nothing cooperates with oily skin!
5.  My nose.  I feel like my profile is very witch-esque.  Pointy nose, pointy chin!  Aren't noses weird? 


Likes: 
1.  My eyes.  I used to highly dislike my eyes because I felt like a deer in the headlights, but I've learned to embrace my large green eyes!  
2.  My oily skin.  Yes, it's a pain in the butt, but I'd prefer it over dry skin.  Supposedly oily skin is less prone to premature wrinkles.  What's not to love about that!  I also get a lot of compliments on how soft my skin is.  Thank you, Johnson's Baby Lotion.
3.  My dimples.  Did you know dimples are actually a muscle deformation?  I don't know why I like my dimples.  How many times can I say dimples in one sentence? Dimples.  Dimples!
4.  Despite the fact that I can do some crazy things with my feet, I feel that I was blessed with decent looking toes.  That are desperately in need of some nail polish.
5.  My sarcasm.  Though it can sometimes get me into trouble, my humor and sarcasm are what defines my personality.  


So here's what we've learned.  It's a darn good thing we're all unique because this world would be a dull place without diversity.  Agreed?  E.E. Cummings once said, "It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are."  I've realized, especially in the last two years or so, how important it is to truly embrace who you are, fivehead and all.  You can't change it, so why not love it?


I now challenge you to the Perfect Imperfections tag.  Discover what it is you really adore about yourself.  Ready? Go!
