Show to the whole world who you really are

SHOW THEM WHO YOU REALLY ARE!

How many times have you hidden your moles behind the makeup? How many times have you been afraid to wear that dress because of some kilograms?

Why do we do this to ourselves? why do we pretend to be "perfect"?

I will start this blog with a short story of a pair of years ago. 

I meet a deaf-mute person and her interpreter, we were talking a little bit, obviously with her interpreter's help, it was just simple questions like 'hi, how are you? what's your name?', so on. 

I don't know sign language but there was a fact that woke up my curiosity, it was when I asked her name she spelled it, but when I asked her interpreter's name she just held her hand and put the knuckles of the index finger on her cheeks and began to form a kind of circle. At the first moment, I did not understand what she meant until her interpreter laughed and she explained: "when she just meets you, she uses to spell her name or any other person's name in sign language but when she knows you instead spelling your name she will describe you for something that only you have". 

Her interpreter had those cheeks holes when she smiled that's why the deaf-muted girl formed those circles because there could be 5 girls with the same name but only her interpreter had those checks holes. 

That person loved to see, to appreciate, and to cherish every detail that makes her friends special and different because it was the way she would say to all people about them. 

Did you understand what I wanted you to get?

We spend a lot of time trying to hide our freckles, dark circles, moles, scars, pores without realizing it makes us special, that's what people remember about us. 

Look that scar, tell yourself how did you get it? No one has that beautiful scar, no one has your eyes, no one has your smile and the most important, no one has your heart. 

We all need to understand that it is not about how we look, it's about who we really are; it's not about the clothes, it's about your attitude; it's not about the shoes you wear, it's about how you walk this path called life. 

At every turn, I see humans but no humanity. 

We are too worried to show the whole world the 'perfect life', 'perfect skin', 'perfect body' and what for? I do not mean having a fit body, caring your skin is wrong, what's wrong is to look down people and believe that you are superior because of the way you look.

It seems we are not aware the most imperfect we look more perfect we are, we're humans, not porcelain dolls, we have feelings, we love, we cry, we fail, we made mistakes and it is totally normal. 

Thanks to all the scars on your knees you learn to ride a bike, the dark circles you had yesterday because you were studying till late to accredit that exam, that mole on your face is what makes you different among all people with your same name, thanks to your legs whether they are skinny, fat, long or short legs you have walked this path all those years and here you are, thanks to them you could rise again when you fell, then why do we feel so ashamed of the way we look? Why must you feel ashamed of those kilograms if people don't feel ashamed of their minds?

It's time to stop disrespecting us and start loving us, to believe we're special, believe we are perfect. If you don't give yourself the love you deserve, no one else will do it for you. Stop doubting, you look beautiful, you look handsome, go and conquer the world, go and show to the whole world who you really are.
