Do you ever find yourself trying to be a different person just to capture the attention of someone you like? Well, you are not alone. We all have our fair share of insecurities and desire to be different for the sake of romance. The common standards for society in a partner will always be good-looking, smart, and talented. For us who believe we are average or less, we tend to belittle ourselves and manipulate our thoughts thinking we will never be worthy of love unless we change. It took me quite some time to realize that I’ve been too harsh on myself. Love sees beyond worldly things, it does not search for the perfect partner, it brings out the imperfectly perfect version of us and it pairs us with our right match.
We all know that confidence takes us far but having to be confident even if it makes us unhappy and uncomfortable with who we’re trying to be isn’t confidence, it’s all a stageplay. Love does not choose skin color, weight, height, face shape, eyes, clothing style, voice, hair, and abilities. Love takes more than just what meets the eyes, it goes beyond petty and unrealistic preferences. The beautiful kind of love is majestic, ethereal, and indescribable — it knows no adjectives. If you ever find a partner who makes you ashamed of who you are, drop that person right away. He/she surely doesn’t know what love is.
Always keep this in mind: You don’t have to change yourself who sets you apart from who you truly are just for the love you feel towards someone. If you ever have to change, improve, and develop, it should always be for your happiness and never for someone else. “Love is blind” is a negative notion on this matter. Instead think of it this way, when you close your eyes or choose not to hear and still feel at home in the arms of a particular person, that’s when you’ll realize that true love will accept you for who you are even if it means not meeting societal standards.
