I’m sitting my car watching the sunset over the trees as it reflects off the water
The last rays of the day are always so beautifully hypnotizing
I lose myself watching them move forward with every day peacefully
The water rippling with every breeze disrupting the beautiful reflection
The reflection wasn’t ruined though it was only temporary
The beauty is always there even if you can’t always see it
I’m always lost in the beauty of nature
Natures beauty always makes me feel so reflective
Sometimes I wish I could see half the beauty I see in nature in myself
It’s always so easy to see the beauty in other things
It’s almost hypnotic seeing the beauty that you are surrounded by
But I always circle back to thoughts of doubt towards myself
Not thinking I’m enough
Thinking I’m too much
Always feeling like a burden
Do you think that if nature were to think as we do…
To have the self awareness that we do…
That it would have the same thoughts as we do.
Would the beauty we see be seen by itself as a flaw
Imperfection is beauty and yet we strive for perfection
Perfection is a wish of acceptance
Imperfection is beautiful but not wanted
I wish I could view my imperfections as I view nature
Maybe I should compare my imperfections to nature so that I may see my own beauty
Sometimes I see it but sometimes it’s gone
It’s so much easier to see the beauty in others than it is in ourselves
