If You Met Yourself

If you


met yourself what would you think? Would you compliment the way your hair falls around your shoulders? Would you tell yourself how nice you are, how your good with words and smiles? Would you tell yourself your silly and full of spirit? If you met yourself would you feel the need to kiss your soft, pink lips? Would you blush with the kind words you tell yourself? Would you fall in love with your curves and the way your jeans hug your hips? Would you take in consideration that its normal to have body fat and love yourself for it? If you met yourself would you fall in love with your personality and the way you like to talk to strangers? Would you welcome the thought of spending forever with yourself? Would you start to like looking at yourself in the mirror a little more? Would you except your flaws and mistake them for beauty instead? Would you be mad that you have scars in places you want smooth skin or would you find them fitting and full of stories? If you met yourself, would you love the way you walk, and the way you talk about the books you read, and the people you love? Would you fall in love with the way your skin glows in the moonlight and the fact that you like coffee despite what time of day it is? If you met yourself would you still fill your self full of negative thoughts? Would you still call yourself fat, and unworthy?  Would you still tell yourself that your hair doesn't lay right, that its crazy and untamed? Would you look in the mirror and point out all the flaws in your face? All the wrinkles and sunspots? Or would you see them as angel kisses and the curves of a warriors face? Would you love yourself a little more and be less hard on yourself,if you met yourself without knowing anything about you? Would you understand more of why people think your beautiful? Would you get why people stare at you and are amazed by all the things you have accomplished? Would you be more willing to accept yourself and fall in love with the person you are? Would you be less tempted to be negative and down on yourself? Would you wear that tight shirt or that bikini if you knew how great you really looked in it? If you met yourself would you stop being sad and start being happy? If you met yourself do you think you would have the same effect on yourself as you seem to have on others? Would you be proud to call yourself a girlfriend, boyfriend, best friend, mother, father, do gooder, beautiful, unique, wonderful, full of life? Or would you still call yourself, fat, lazy, ugly, to skinny, boobless, heartless, unrealistic, weird, nothing special? I believe that if you met yourself you'd understand, if you met yourself you'd start filling your soul with positive thoughts instead of negative ones. You'd get the concept of love and start letting people love you. You'd take a compliment because you'd know it would be true. You would see yourself differently. If you met yourself, you'd get that swimsuit. You'd call yourself perfect instead of fat. You'd hold your head higher and your heart wouldn't feel so heavy. If you met yourself you'd understand why people say kind things to you. You would understand that they mean those things because you have seen them. If you met yourself I'm sure you'd fall in love with yourself too. You are wonderful, beautiful, and caring all in your own way. Next time your down on yourself, frustrated with what you see in the mirror, not believing in yourself or the compliments others give you. Think to yourself, if I met myself what would I really think?

Red Flags

Red flags feel like home. I grab your red flags and wrap them around my shoulders as if they will be the only thing in the relationship to...
