When was the last time I was completely and utterly myself? The last time I opened my mouth wide and laughed out loud with no self-consciousness, the last time I confided in a friend one of my deepest secrets?
It's difficult to do sometimes, isn't it? I think we've all grown to put on appearances to give our best impression. And to show our ugly parts, the parts that we're not proud of, that's difficult to do.
But I guess that's what beauty is. To not be afraid and to let go and to be someone who does things most true to what we believe. To face the sides of ourselves that we don't like, to take risks, to stop lying to ourselves. It can be downright frightening, to be so vulnerable and full of flaws, but it's probably liberating.
