Many of us do not take the time
to notice and acknowledge how beautiful we are as same gender loving
individuals.
We may be
great lovers of beauty, seeing it in the people, places, and things around us,
while completely missing it in ourselves. Some of us feel that it is vain to
consider our appearance too much, or we may find that when we look at
ourselves, all we see are imperfections. Often we come to the mirror with
expectations and preconceived notions about beauty that blind us from seeing
ourselves clearly. As a result, we miss the beauty that is closest to us, the
beauty we are. Sometimes we see our beauty in a shallow way, noticing how well
we are conforming to social norms, but failing to see the deeper beauty that
shines out from within and that will continue to shine regardless of how we
measure up to society’s ideal.
If we can cut
through all these obstacles and simply appreciate how beautiful we are, we free
up so much energy. We also become less dependent upon the opinions and feedback
of others since we become our own greatest admirers. Many of us know that we
have released some of our baggage, thus unburdening ourselves and summoning
forth the beautiful spirit that dwells within us. It is the heady combination
of this spirit and our human body that conveys beauty more accurately than
anything else.
The best way
to keep ourselves in touch with our own beauty is to keep looking deeply into
our own souls and opening our eyes to the human being we see in the mirror
every day.
