Beauty, they say, lies in the eyes of the beholder.
For long, I beheld myself and abhorred all that I was.
I hated the way my face looked in the mirror
and how my teeth would poke out when I laughed.
I cringed when I remembered that my legs were out of proportion.
And the scar I got when I was 13, was a constant reminder that some things cannot be blotted out through wishful thinking.

Today, I embrace all my weaknesses. Revel in them and I accept that they are my beauty.
Pulchritude strides deeper than a pretty face.
