to every girl...

"Freckles"

I used to care so much about what others think about

Almost didn’t have a thought of my own

The slightest remark would make me embark

On the journey of self doubt

But that was a while ago

This girl has got stronger

If I knew then what I know now

I would have told myself don’t worry any longer it's OK

'cause a face without freckles is like a sky without stars

Why waste a second not loving who you are

Those little imperfections make you beautiful, lovable, valuable,

They show your personality inside your heart

Reflecting who you are

I wondered if I could trade my body with somebody else in magazines

Would the whole world full at my feet

I phantom worthy and would blame my failures on the ugliness I could see

When the mirror looked at me

Sometimes I feel like the little girl who doesn’t belong in her own world

But I'm getting better

And I'm reminding myself

That a face without freckles is like a sky without stars

Why waste a second not loving who you are

Those little imprefections make you beautiful, lovable, valuable,

They show your personality inside your heart

Reflecting who you are

Reflecting who you are

~these are the lyrics from a song by Natasha Bedingfield called "freckles"... I love it. Just thought it was something all us girls could use to hear, and be reminded of! I hope as I raise my girls I instill this message into their hearts!
