I am ok with not being very beautiful, with not having a boyfriend, and with my slight boyish figure. Because life is about love.
[the one that remains. the greatest]
Because I have a little sister. She is probably the most gorgeous person I've ever seen in the whole world, and she writes songs and plays them for me on her piano. She listens to people, even people she doesn't like, and has more patience with friends who treat her badly than I do.
And I have a brother. He is a Major in the airforce, graduated from undergraduate college and flight school, got married to a beautiful girl, and is now going after his Master's. He fixes cars, flies planes, and thoroughly investigates the properties of excellent diamonds before proposing. He is one of the hardest workers I have ever known.
And I have a big sister. The most beautiful sister would probably actually result in a tie. She has red hair and muddy eyes and tattoos. She is strong, and used to be drowning in things I've never experienced. And she is a mother.
And I have a little brother. He has blue eyes, darker than mine. He used to be little, awkward, generally suspected of even greater awkwardness, and maybe a little lonely. Now he is tall and beautiful and one of the best dancers I know. Being the sibling closest to my age, he is my best friend. He is a good listener.
And I have a big brother, my most affectionate sibling, who plays & talks video games, music, films, and grand schemes with me. He and I don't fight even when we disagree.

My life is blessed and beautiful.

I was just going through my bookmarks, cleaning things out, and noticed this link. You may not remember me, but you guys played a year ago or so at MCC right after Sara Pomeroy's group, which I was playing in.
ReplyDeleteI think I've since unfriended you from Facebook. We just never talked, and I don't keep people as friends if we never converse or anything - not at all that I don't appreciate you as a person.
Anywho, I haven't read this in probably the same amount of time that we've talked last, but when hitting this tonight, I felt compelled to leave a comment. Your subject here is one that's really close to my heart, because I feel the same way about a lot of my surroundings and myself. But be assured, it's not just your family that's beautiful - you are as well. You've also got an amazing voice, a lot of love to share, a strikingly beautiful face, and a truly free soul. Sure, I don't know you that well - heck, we haven't talked really since that concert - but from the few bits I got from you was that.
You have a blessed life, and you have a lot of love, but don't downplay yourself. God created you in His image, and he made each and every one of us to be beautiful - He loves you more than you will ever know. You are beautiful.
Take care, and God bless.
