In our world image is everything to women, What style fits us, how our bodies should look, how to wear our makeup, etc., and the list goes on, but in reality we use "Image" to cover up our flaws, and to hide our secrets.
Most of my life growing up I was put down and I started to believe it and would hide behind my "Image". I tried to cover up my flaws, but the more I tried to cover them up the more they showed.
Recently, I realized that our flaws are what makes our personalities, not what we make them up to be, Flawless. In life your going to have flaws, there is no such thing as flawless, a person who seems flawless is hiding behind this big image that they have created for themselves. Our flaws will always end up showing, no matter how hard we try to hide them, but it is up to us to let them shine and except them and let those silly flaws make up our personalities and we need to except ourselves for who we are.
So who defines our beauty?
We do, but we have to keep in mind the one who gives us our beauty...
God, He created us in His own image and He shaped us and molded us into the beautiful creatures we are.
We are A Diamond in the Rough, still being molded and shaped.
We just have to let Him continue to build more of His creation into us and open up our mind to His beautiful and creative mind
Isaiah 62:3 You shall also be so beautiful and prosperous as to be thought of as a crown of glory and honor in the hand of the Lord, and royal diadem (exceedingly beautiful) in the hand of your God.
Sincerely, A Diamond in the Rough
