Some things aren't flaws

Tweet

I am one of those people that believes our physical flaws are what makes us who we are, I believe that they're what makes us special, and draws people to us. I guess sometimes the same could be said about the non physical flaws too, depending on what they are, but the point is it's our imperfections that really make us who we are, could you imagine if everyone was perfect? It would be a pretty dull world. My mom gets annoyed with me when I point out that my son has big ears. He does, I'm not saying it to make fun of him, I love his big ears. They're part of what makes him who he is, the same way his scarred lip does. I would never make fun of my son, I just love his ears and the way they sometimes stick out from under his many hats he loves to wear. I love the little scar on his lip, it all gives him character. I love the way his hair curls and is difficult to maintain when it grows out. These are all things that make him who he is. My mom always makes it sound like I'm giving him a complex by saying his ears are big. I don't blatantly tell him his ears are big I might mention it in passing. Why does everyone have to make it sound like that's a bad thing? It's not. I tell my son he is handsome everyday, and he tells me he knows, so I'm fairly certain he knows I don't see his ears as a bad thing. It's only bad if you make it seem that way. I don't see why everything has to be negative. I don't tell him "you'd be really handsome if it weren't for your ears" I say "you're so handsome buddy" no buts or exceptions. HE is handsome, ears and all, those are the things that make him who he is. My mom says he doesn't have big ears, but he does, and there's nothing wrong with that. My son has these amazing blue/green eyes that sparkle, long lashes, he has big ears not huge big but bigger than average, and he has a scar on his lip from where he had cleft surgery. He is my amazing little boy. He wouldn't be him if he was remotely different. That goes for his personality too. He is strong willed, you can't change that kid's mind for anything. He drives me crazy on any given day, but everything that drives me crazy is also what makes me love him. Yes my little man does have his flaws, we all do. I don't see why people make our "flaws" into a bad thing. I don't even think we should call them flaws, because that does make them sound like it's a bad thing, and they're not always a bad thing. I guess I would call them our differences, they are what make us different from everyone else. Everyone talks about the perfect person, and there is no such thing as the perfect person, but there is someone who is perfect for us. I find some people to be boring because they do seem so I guess the word would be normal. There just isn't anything about them that makes them really stand out, I honestly do think there are people who are too attractive, so much so that it actually makes them unattractive to me if that makes sense? It's just that I want someone who maybe has big ears or a scar or something that shows me they are different. I want someone who has those qualities I'm looking for but isn't without certain flaws. I found that person of course. My boyfriend isn't a model, but I find him attractive and that's what's important. He has an amazing soul. He would do anything for me or anyone else that's in his power, because he's a kind person. He likes making others happy. He makes me happy. My point is that it's those differences in us that make us who we are, we should stop seeing things like big ears and etc as flaws and more as something that makes them different from most people. Stop seeing it as something that makes them less than beautiful, because it doesn't make them less beautiful. It gives them character.
