Facets

Day 79

08 August 2009

We have multiple facets. The parts we show to the world, and the parts that we hide away. The parts of us that shine, and the parts of us that are in shadow.
There are parts of us that shine so brightly that we appear perfect to others. If we look deeper, we realise that there is no such thing as perfection.
A diamond has many facets, and there are many flawed diamonds in this world. It doesn't stop us from wanting these precious stones and admiring their glittering beauty, even if it means risking ourselves or others in some way to obtain one.

The facets of ourselves need not be hidden away. We need to learn to love those parts of us that are secret, in the shade, and to show our glittery, sparkly selves in a loving way. We don't need big glittery things on our bodies to make us feel special, we are all diamonds, so shine brightly! ;)

PS: I have not indulged in any recreational drugs, and despite what you might think, I am sane!
