Random Blog Of Life

Day Fourteen

Woo! The end of week two!
How is everyone feeling?
I'm feeling alright.
Hopefully you readers aren't getting tired of reading the Random Blog of Life yet.
There is still two more weeks then it will have been a month since Random Blog of Life was started.
Almost halfway there!
What to do when the month is actually done?
I don't know.
I haven't figured it out yet.
I may just continue on with the blog.
How does that sound?
It sounds good to me.
I hope it sounds good to all of you.
In honor of the two week mark and me opening up more, I have a quote to talk about.
Quote:
"There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion."
-Sir Francis Bacon, "Of Beauty"
English author, courtier, & philosopher (1561 - 1626)
I have loved this quote ever since I first read it.
The quote is obvious in what it talks about.
I take it as since there is no absolute excellent beauty without some 'strangeness' as he puts it, then we are all beautiful.
No one is perfect.
There isn't exactly a perfect, excellent, beauty.
We all have some flaws.
We just need to embrace those flaws.
We are who we are.
Flaws and all.
I know I talk about change and it sounds a little contradicting.
To clear it up.
By change I mean to change how I think of myself.
Not change myself.
I am me.
I'm trying to learn to love myself. To think positive about myself.
One's thoughts can't change overnight.
Some thoughts especially can't change overnight because these thoughts are deep in my mind.
They are at the core and have been there for a long while.
It has become a habit.
It is hard for one to change a habit.
It can be done, but it will take some work.
This isn't a physical habit either. It is one of the mind and those are even harder to stop.
I'm not going to let it stop me from trying.
I'm already dressing more confidently.
Smiling more.
I am telling myself I look good.
I only half believe it.
Don't get me wrong there are some days where I think I look awesome. My hair turns out like I want it to, which when it happens I get all happy. There are times where my hair doesn't want to do what I want it to. My makeup turns out good. The outfit looks good. Overall everything looks good.
Of course there are days where I'm a bit iffy on what I wore.
It happens.
This isn't going to be successful overnight.
I know this.
This is a start though.
A huge start for a new beginning.
Well here is the quote that I put at the end of yesterday's post as a reminder:
"Begin with an individual, and before you know it you have created a type; begin with a type, and you find you have created – nothing."
- F. Scott Fitzgerald
*Puts aviator sunglasses on* On to week three!
