Recent Musings: Thanks to Bruno Mars

Bruno Mars' new hit song Just the way you are is totally infectious. I'm not a fan of mainstream music but this song truly makes a lot of sense. It's not the same crap I often hear on the radio everyday.

The song is a great way to remind me that there's nothing really wrong about me.

I always thought that the most fitting pronoun to describe mediocrity is Me: I'm not that pretty, I'm not that smart and most of all, I'm not that rich.

Someone told me that a long time ago. I was convinced and so committed to believe it's true.

I am ordinary and I am inferior.

I don't have an Angeline Jolie lips or a Jennifer Lopez ass.

I don't have a blond hair and blue eyes like my husband's ex girlfriends.

I don't have a Jessica Alba abs.

I am not a cool and famous nerd like Natalie Portman with a Harvard degree.

I am not an heiress with a top-selling perfume line and hotel chains.

I definitely can't keep up with the Kardashians.

And then I allow myself to think and I ask myself...

Why do I focus too much on my flaws?

Why do I stress too much to be seen, love and accepted for who I am?

I have to accept the fact that I will never be perfect.

I may not be a freaking head turner you'd instantly notice while walking in the mall

Or a rich girl who can easily spend a thousand bucks on lavish things

But my life is not meaningless.

I may have a lot of flaws I may not change but it doesn't make me less of a person.

I can still be truly happy just the way I am.
