for you Mrs Darling...

heard this tonight at the gym, it's not new, but I thought of you...all of you!
I wish we could all see ourselves the way the world sees us. The things I dislike most seem to be the things others adore.

Freckles
Natasha Bedingfield

I used to care so much about what others think about
Almost didn't have a thought of my own
The slightest remark would make me embark
On the journey of self doubt
But that was a while ago
This girl has got stronger
If I knew then what I know now
I would have told myself don't worry any longer it's OK

'cause a face without freckles is like a sky without stars
Why waste a second not loving who you are
Those little imperfections make you beautiful, lovable, valuable,
They show your personality inside your heart
Reflecting who you are

Who you are
Who you are
Who you are

I wondered if I could trade my body with somebody else in magazines
Would the whole world fall at my feet?
I felt unworthy and would blame my failures on the ugliness I could see
When the mirror looked at me
Sometimes I feel like the little girl who doesn't belong in her own world
But I'm getting better
And I'm reminding myself

he actually does so much more than i give him credit for on my blog! when i see allie about to have an accident i yell and mr. darling comes running! it's pretty funny. she won't ever go potty outside...i think i'm going to have to start being more strict with her. i'm sort of a puppy pushover.
