I am Beautiful for I See

When I wake up tomorrow I want my mind to be free of all inconsequential thoughts.

I want to go on to live a day where my chipped nail color is not what defines me. I have way too much to touch, feel, see and grasp to be the conventional pretty girl.

I’m beautiful in my originality… I’m identifiable!

There’s so much beauty around and I have such little time to reflect it all.. I’ll start with one at a time. I’ll be glad to know and choose where my clothes come from. I’ll be glad if I make a difference, I’ll be glad if my attire complements me, becomes me and not vice-versa.

I’ll carry around the bag I’m loving these days.. It might not be trendy but it has been woven to perfection with a priceless story – that of a woman who educates her children with the earnest earnings. It has enough space to carry around my experiences which are way too many by the end of each day.

My shoes will keep me grounded, tell a tale of my origin, of my journey and of my path ahead, validate my presence in the impressions left behind.

The silver in the hair will not be hidden. It is the proof of the years gone by, good and bad times, none of which I repent. I will not fear the sun and I’ll let the tan envelope me for every time I look in the mirror, it reminds me of the outdoors I have been to.

When I wake up tomorrow I’ll be aware of every little detail.
