Reverb10: Beautifully Different
December 8 - Beautifully Different. Think about what makes you different and what you do that lights people up. Reflect on all the things that make you different - you’ll find they’re what make you beautiful. (Author: Karen Walrond)
'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder' is a cliched saying. But that is how it is. Someone in high school had mentioned that all human beings have one thing in common and that is that we are all different. Many of us have similar experiences and yet each one is so unique from the other.
So, what makes me different is being me and whether that is considered beautiful by someone else, well, that is up to that someone else. That is not in my control and I never really cared for what others feel, except my parents (they will be surprised, but yes them), my sis and now my new family.
That being said, I think my easy going nature makes people comfortable around me? I hope so. I feel that formalities are for diplomats and I always give the benefit of doubt to everyone and try to see the other side's perspective even if I don't agree (there are times though that this backfires - but hey noone's perfect).
