I was brushing my teeth last night, suddenly it hit me: I have a really beautiful mouth, sensual and perfectly formed lips. I know it sounds like I’m all up myself but I never noticed before, never saw what friends and family have complimented me on for years; but there I stood just looking and realising how little I look at myself. How much I have avoided looking at myself, especially when I got ill and the meds began to alter my body, I at some point just stopped looking.

It was nice. I feel really beautiful, pretty and what was better was I didn’t hear that voice, the one that points out a negative everytime I state a positive.
