Love/Hate Relationships With Beautiful



I love my body...And, I hate my body...I.t is a love/hate relationship.
Just like every woman on the face of the planet, I have insecurities and weaknesses in my view of my own self image. I try t.o focus purely on the parts of I love, because th.ere are some things we can change as a woman. But, then some Jacka.ss makes a comment about you, and your self-image plummets.

comes harder, that my skin has changed, my firmness has changed and everything about my body has changed. I am in the over fif.ty battle and gravity is winning. Time is out lapping me and going t.o take the ribbon. But guess what honey, so are theirs...None of us are making it out without aging.

Beyond gravity, is the reality that peo-ple (men and women) have traumas like bearing , car accidents, and other things that render them t.o be disfigured in so0me fashion. That doesn't fit into the eyes of what is perfection for too many, as altruistic as they envision themselves.

I have often wondered, if we could see souls, if that would redefine beauty...
For a soul has imperfections too and which is more important?
I would much rather love a beautiful soul than a beautiful body.
It's good to say that, but what's the reality?
The reality is, we judge with our eyes. If I judge with my eyes, I no longer see what is important. I see what my mind thinks is beautiful.

I try t.o see my own imperfection and find the beauty in i.t .
A scar from ch.ild bi,rth made a human being come from her wo.mb. She is the creator of that life. That is what's beautiful about my own scar, which goes hip to hip, due to complications.
I.t is the definition of that act, completely selfless, that makes me beautiful. This is what I tell myself. Whoever doesn't see that beauty is shallow and worthless in my eyes. I don't care if he looks like Adonis, with a coc.k the size of my favorite dil.do...He can fu.ck right off.
I've made the decision they can also join the Narcissistic Fuc.kwit pile too.

I have a love/hate relationship with the concept of what is beautiful...

India Arie

Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't
Depend of how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul
I'm not the average girl from your video
And I ain't built like a supermodel
But I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be
India.Arie
When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it's suppose to be
And I know my creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes, I'm loving what I see
I'm not the average girl from your video
And I ain't built like a supermodel
But I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be
India.Arie
Am I less of a lady if I don't wear panty hose
My momma said a lady ain't what she wears but what she knowsâ?¦
But I've drawn the conclusion, it's all an illusion
Confusion's the name of the game
A misconception, a mass deception,
Something gotta change
Now don't be offended this is all my opinion
Ain't nothing that I'm saying law
This is a true confession
Of a life learned lesson
I was sent here to share with y'all
So get in when you fit in
Go on and shine
Clear your mind
Now's the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourself
Cause everything's gonna be alright
I'm not the average girl from your video
And I ain't built like a supermodel
But I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be
India.Arie
Keep your fancy drink, and your expensive minks
I don't need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive cars and your caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your crystal and your pistol
I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Don't need you silicone, I prefer my own
What god gave me is just fine
I'm not the average girl from your video
And I ain't built like a supermodel
But I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be
India.Arie

All of those imperfections make us unique and that's what attracts me

I love this piece because I relate to it so much. My love/hate relationship w/ my body is over, though it took a very long time to get here. I'm glad I made it. Thanks for sharing this great piece.xxxx

I've never had a problem with women's body changes from pregnancy. It's a natural part of life. Let's face it, not many women go for tummy tucks and I'm not paying for one either.

PS I find those tiger stripes to be hot.

Poetess, it's about the right dom/Master loving those things that you think are imperfect. Any man who has children knows that the mother of his children will have a different body with the changes from child birth. If he is not willing to accept those imperfections he should not want children...just saying
