I feel lovely.

As I've been thinking lately, I've began to realize more and more each day just how blessed I am to have Mike in my life. In my previous relationship--as I mentioned earlier--I felt that I had to be a certain way.  It left me feeling completely empty when we broke up. I realized that I no longer knew who I was because I had changed so much to be the person that he wanted me to be. I never felt 100 percent comfortable being myself. As I went through a very tough breakup, I found myself again. I learned that I really loved who I am. Sure, there are things I need to improve. Nobody's perfect, but I now know that I am perfect for someone. And Mike has helped me to realize this. I NEVER have had to worry about being too silly, stupid, skinny, fat, or too little or too much of anything. He is such a wonderful man and shows me every single day just what loving someone means. I love this song because the woman in this song, begins to realize her self worth. Do NOT EVER let anyone tell you who to be or make you feel bad for being the way you are. Here's the lyrics:

I don't wanna be her

I just want to be little old me

Shouldn't have to think

Who am I suppose to be today

And what give you the right

To tell me who I should be

Who gave you that right

Cause I, I feel lovely

Just the way that I am

Yes I feel lovely

The way that I am

I know you want the best

Yeah only good things for me

But you have to realize

I can't be all these things you project on me

Cause I'm beautiful to me

Doesn't that mean a thing

I feel lovely

Just the way that I am

Yes I feel lovely

The way that I am

I need that to be enough for you

Need that to be enough for you

Cause it's enough for me

It's enough for me

Am I suppose to give up everything I am

Just to make you happy

I thought I was the one you

Always wanted me to be

It turns out I'm just little old me

I'm just little old me

And that's fine by me

Cause I, I am lovely

Just the way that I am

Oh yes I am, 

Yes I am lovely

The way that I am

I am lovely lovely

I am lovely

By the end of the song, she realizes that she's good enough and it doesn't matter to her whether anyone else thinks of her. I think that's how we should feel about ourselves. Once we become comfortable with who we are, the perfect person for you will come along. I have learned this. I know it took me time to learn this, but every single day when I talk to Mike, I realize how worth the wait is.  He shows me that I am perfect in the way I am.  Genesis 1:27 reads, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." And since we are created in the image of God, we too were created to become perfect. However, we must do our part to make it happen.
