Glasses, dimples, long hair.

High cheekbones, long lashes.

Intelligence, eloquence.

Confidence, wonder.

These were the things I'd admired.

The things I'd loved in others.

Then once, I caught my reflection and saw it all there in front of me.

If the things you love are a reflection of you,

Then maybe this is the universe gently reminding you

To love yourself.

You're beautiful too.
