#63...If

what if you could buy self confidence in a jar.
take twice a day, with a full glass of tea;
do not take on an empty stomach.

now this would not be self confidence in the form of mood elevating drugs or weight loss supplements.
more of a jar, you could open up & it whispers beautiful things to you.

confidence is such an alluring quality in creatures &
really, everyone should feel confident. you’re alive, that makes you beautiful.

everyone is beautiful.
slight things make you beautiful. that speck of gold on your otherwise green eyes,
that freckle the shape of maine, the gap in your teeth, the fullness of your body. everyone is beautiful. if this is true, why is it so impossible to feel sometimes?

we sink our skin into bathtubs of luke warm water searching for our flaws. the superficial reason he/she might not fall in love with you. we don’t look within towards the passion in our blood- the things people will actually fall in love with.

looks fade & anyone can fall in lust with a look. it’s trite but true that in the long run that is not what you want in a mate. you want someone who intrigues you, makes you a better person, someone who compliments your very existence.

if self confidence could be purchased in a jar it might say your heart beats like a rabbit &
you glow when you smile. it might say the way your brain works is extraordinary,
you notice things everyone else is too busy to see. it might just whisper you’re breathing,
you…are…alive.
