My smile is too big, My nose is crooked, My feet point slightly inwards when I walk, My teeth are gappy, My laugh is too loud, but then again.. in my eyes these things are hamartias, but in someone elses eyes they may be the definition of beautiful, and anyway, it's rare to find someone completely happy with themselves, So we should forget these "flaws", and learn to love the skin we're in, for we will be wearing it for a long time.

A Hamartia or Two
My smile is too big, My nose is crooked, My feet point slightly inwards when I walk, My teeth are gappy, My laugh is too loud, but then again.. in my eyes these things are hamartias, but in someone elses eyes they may be the definition of beautiful, and anyway, it's rare to find someone completely happy with themselves, So we should forget these "flaws", and learn to love the skin we're in, for we will be wearing it for a long time.
