Imperfections?

Self consciousness. Is it something bad? 

Actually to my opinion, I feel that it really depends on what kind of perception you are looking at. For the 17th year of my life, I have always been self conscious about myself. Be it the way I look, the way I talk or even the way I walk. There has always been this mindset of mine to hide my imperfections. Let's say if I don't like the bulge I have and I cannot get rid of it now, cover it with something that makes it look hidden or say if I am sun burnt, very quickly I would wear something that could cover the burnt areas. That is how self conscious I would be. I care about how others judge me. I care about how people view me as a person in their eyes. 

The bigger the age was, the more self conscious I became. Then later someone introduced "Confidence" into the picture. Where there is a generic mould that is trendy. 

Remember back in the days where being skinny was a sign of unhealthy? Now, being skinny is the trend and it is the new default that everyone looks into.Maybe it is just the females.. :/ 

Now lets get back to imperfections. What kind of imperfections do you have? I have many flaws and I can name so many rather than counting my positive points. I'll give you an example, my nose. I have always felt that my nose was rather too flat and too big. 

I have been thinking over and over again why did God make us in the image of him but yet we feel imperfect? 

Finally, the answers came. :) God did make us in the image of him. He made all of us with different sizes and shapes because he is omnipresent. He can be however shape he wants or he likes. He can be chubby, skinny or curvy. Its all up to him. So happened when he made us, he put us into designated shape and sizes. That is why he felt that it "good" because he see himself through us. :) 

But when we step into the world, we always categorize ourselves. Including the clothes or the shoes we wear. Its not a bad thing, it means the shapes and sizes are being tidied up so its easier for us to pick an outfit that matches our sizes. But that doesn't mean we are not perfect. 

Perfection only comes when there is comparison. How would you know it is perfect if you have not seen imperfections? How do you call yourself imperfect if you have not seen what is truly perfect? Do you get me? 

So do you still have imperfection? :) I don't :) 

Happy Friday the 13th :))
