As Is

Who are we?  It's easy to get lost, even under the healthiest of conditions.  We play many roles as we are many things to many different people each one drawing out different parts of us.  We may not wake up everyday looking physically like someone else, but we are all multidimensional and learn how to play each of the roles well.  Perhaps even too well...

Our core.  Our own human spirit... it's what makes us tick.  It's what makes us truly happy.  It is what makes us unique individuals.  It's our own beauty inside.

Unfortunately not everyone does get to see it.  There are those who a blinded to it.  The ones that don't even give a second glance or thought.  There are those with whom we may open the door, but  try as they might, they just don't get it.   They don't understand.  There are those with whom we just cannot or will not let in for whatever reason.  And then there are those that our gut tells us to risk it, risk full exposure and something miraculous happens.  They see it.  They see all of it, they see us for who we truly are and accept us for exactly that (Oh, the Comfort!).  I think that helps us to settle into ourselves and to become even more magnificent (Something Beautiful).

That is something profound and extraordinary. 

Although it would save us a great amount of time and heartache, it makes it all the more that it just doesn't happen with just anyone.  Otherwise, how would we know... that we have found the one?

I love the happy ending in The Beauty Inside.  I love how she amazed him the first time he saw her as an older man.  I love how he amazed her in a way that went beyond the charming good looks of Matthew Gubler.  I love how he changed, his thoughts and actions not because she asked him to, but because he wanted her in his life that badly.  I love how Alex was an unattractive woman the night that Leah came to him and laid beside him looking at him as if he were Matthew.  I love how the next day, he woke up a very attractive man, Topher.  And I love how he never changed again (sigh... <3.
