I'm so happy to be unique! Awesome thoughts on the subject. I hate that there is an actual standard for so-called "beauty" and so many people out there trying to fit it (even me from time to time - yikes!). Sometimes I have to really remind myself that I'm beautiful & special just the way I am. Luckily I'm starting to feel like every day it gets easier to do. :)

Thanks you for that. I like your perspective and ...

totally pushed send before i was ready. small addition to my pevious comment: i have never, nor will i ever, conform to "beauty" standards. while i can admire, appreciate and enjoy the entertainment/fashion industry, etc., i do not believe my waist must be a certain width, nor my hair a certain shade or my chest a certain size. i love who i am regardless of what someone else may consider a "flaw".

oh. my. science. pretty sure this post just summed up everything i've been thinking about for the past few days in the most concise, philosophical manner.

i've always said we are not, in fact, a sum of our parts, but a whole unit that can be described in certain mannerisms i.e; the way we dress, how we speak, the things we love. Not so much how we look on such a superficial level. thank you for this.

I really like how it's always something unique and special that defines our own beauty.

This post couldn't have come at a better time for me. I was feeling rather boring lately, but I've snapped out of it! Thanks for the reality check.

That was some seriously intense pondering. And I totally agree, as an exchange student, coming from another country, and a different culture, I am definately unique to the people here. And sometimes I just get tired of being different and wish I was like everyone else. Thanks for reminding me that I am beatiful in my uniqueness and it isn't something I should want to squash down.

I agree about feeling closest to God on the open road - with nothing to mold existence but the journey. I really enjoyed this post. Thanks for sharing :)

As someone who lives in LA, I've never felt I've had to look like "that", because everyone else does and what's the point? Never felt the pressure. I'm much more influenced by the blogging world and editorials, to be honest.

2010-03-04T16:43:27.041-09:00

great post! i agree, you have a wonderful way with words. :)

as someone who is originally from the midwest, lived in LA and is now back in the midwest (chicago), i have to say that LA has a bad rap when it comes to things like pressure to fit in, look perfect all the time, etc. that certainly exists in some circles but there are plenty of normal, down-to-earth people who work in hollywood and care more about personality than looks. i know you weren't speaking about everyone there, i just generally feel the need to stick up for the decent people who do live in LA. there are quite a few, contrary to the opinion of many, many people i've met. :)

i've never commented here before, but i'm a big fan of your blog, style, and vibe. thanks for sharing your life with us!

When I started out on my blog two months ago I was ridiculed with snide comments by a total stranger. If it hadn't been for my faith in myself I would have quit blogging then and there. Your post is one of those things that eggs me on to prove that there is only one ME and no one can do what I do and no one can become what I have as an individual. Thanks for the wonderful post.

Very beautiful. It's similar to what I posted a few days ago about my theory on our own existence.

2010-03-04T15:28:13.199-09:00

I think that living in LA would tear my soul out. I sometimes thinking of living there - only so that I can write for an amazing tv show, or on my own. I think, as far as the entertainment/art industry goes, it's the best place with the most chances.

And then I remember New York, and all is good again!

Seriously though, I like this post. Sometimes I look at myself and find things wrong (the bump on the bridge of my nose, my deep-set eyes). Then, I remember the amazing mother I had who always made me feel beautiful, and I am thankful that I can snap back to reality and remember how unique I am . That's a great feeling.

2010-03-04T14:38:45.530-09:00

This is a beautiful post. Giving birth is nothing short of magical. I remember with my first, we were driving home from the hospital, she was nestled in her carseat, only 24 hours old, and it felt weird that she could exist on her own, outside of the hospital. Her heart was beating, she was breathing in and out, just like me and you yet was so tiny, and fresh from my womb. And then we stopped for gas and I looked at the attendant and thought, WOW someone loves him just as much as I love this baby girl here. And once he was small and fresh and brought magic to another family. And for months I was high on life, I created it, so can/has/or will half of the people in this world, it's astonishing, like the universe. Nothing compares to being a Woman. Like you said, we are lucky, because we get to experience it first hand.
P.S. I am glad I don't live in L.A.
Oregon suits me just fine!

I, too, sometimes get a spiritual high and a sense of the vastness of the universe from an expanse of highway in front of me.

2010-03-04T14:13:29.090-09:00

I loved that episode. Bones has a unique perspective on everything that is out of the realm of science. In a way I consider her to be naive, yet her perspective is usually spot on with my own. Refreshing to see the others out there who agree. Power to the Unique!

Well said, this post is well written and full of deep thought. You are so right, I used to hate my freckles or the scar on my lip or the countless other scars, the glasses and frizzy, out of control curls. But these are my curls, the scars are my battle wounds, the freckles? Angel kisses. Yes there are others that have these featuures, but not like mine, we are all different. We all are pretty, cute, sexy, beautiful and full of joy, sadness and anger. Thank you reminding us.

YOu are on great gal.

2010-03-04T13:39:07.510-09:00

I often think about the way I view myself compared to everyone else. Of course there are things about myself that I wish I could change, but I would never take any drastic steps (such as plastic surgery) to make those changes. I feel that it's important to feel comfortable in your own skin and be okay with your flaws. I'm still trying to be both of these things.
I want to wait quite a while before I have children, because I don't want to raise children telling them to feel good about themselves, before I can say the same about myself. I think as a mother it's important to have your child learn about self-esteem by showing them that you have your own. But if I do have a child before I'm 100% in love with myself, you'd better believe that I will spend every second I have telling them that they are beautiful and unique and should love themselves as they are.

Oh, I absolutely love this post and you are amazing. You deserve so many great things in life. Thank you for reminding all of us that beauty is unique and we are all beautiful. You truly are beautiful.

I love this post. What wise and encouraging thoughts you share! I'm a photographer, and my biggest goal with as a photographer is to show others just how wonderful they are as an individual. It's something near and dear to me, because I, along with many others, struggle with confidence. I wish we all could feel more comfortable in our own skin! www.amandapowell.net

I've never been religious, but your statement about open highway and God is so powerful

as is this post. who knew so much thought could come out of bones! I agree Hollywood used to be more unique, now the few unique actresses are paraded around in a sea of look alikes when really everyone should be unique. and we are unique so why change it
