The Most Important Lesson

I hate that I'm short - no matter how much I deny it.
I hate having to wear glasses
I hate my body shape - I wish I could be naturally skinny
I hate my face shape, and the way it breaks out easily.
I've always hated these things.
I've always hated my hair in its natural state. Curly and an uncontrollable mess.
But I love myself.
I love the color of my eyes, and how they change when I'm mad.
I love my hair when it's straight and I love the color.
I love my lips, maybe an odd thing to love.

I've learned to hate little pieces of myself, but not hate myself as a whole. I've learned that I'll have to deal with these things unless I fix them. I've learned that I'm not ugly because of these details. I've learned to love myself despite my flaws - and that's the most important lesson a person could learn.
