Artist's Comments

If it has become too obvious, I have low self-esteem. I'm not gonna lie, I'm fat. Not horribly obese, I'm perfectly healthy (my doctor's checked) but for the most part I'd have to say I'm so-so on the happiness scale:). But I see all these beautiful women on TV, inmagazines, and in books that it just makes me feel so self conscious. Not to mention my older successful sister is soo beautiful and well I'm not:hmm:.

Both my nieces and my family say, I'm beautiful but I just don't see it. I can't count the number of times I look in the mirror and try so hard to see the beautiful person they see. The beautiful woman I want to be. I used two base that were from my good friend ~TokyoLynn, I did make the one base in the mirror a bit bigger to fit. I hope it doesn't break your rules,~TokyoLynn ^^;.

I've done this whole thing from paint, including the background:faint:. The girl in front is me and the reflection is what I would like to look like:(. Yeah I know the outfit & make-up look odd, but cut me some slack. I've never used make-up at all before except for Halloween make-up^^;. If you like please comment:).

Note: I've decided to leave it as it is, so far most people like the mirror effect.

Bases were done by :icontokyolynn:

I'm sorry you feel that way =(

If only building up self-esteem was as easy as listening to other people praise your looks. But you say yourself that it doesn't help make you feel better.

But remember! Looks aren't everything :hug:
As cheesy and cliche as it sounds, everyone is beautiful in their own way. The key is finding the one unique thing about you that makes you stand out from others. And EVERYONE has that one quality ^^

But if you still feel dissatisfied and think that people place a lot of importance on looks, try to think about it this way: The people who will truly love you are those that can care less about how you look. Your soulmate will love you no matter what, and he'll see your true beauty.

I hope that helps :aww: I have a friend who feels exactly the same way and I've been trying to coach her into changing the way she thinks about beauty.

My world is not a fairytale; I have long stopped viewing life through rose-colored glasses.
I have never stopped, however, appreciating the people and the little things that make life beautiful.

You did an excellent job portraying your meaning. I picked up on it before I clicked the thumbnail.

How amazing that you did all of that in paint! I have a preference for GIMP, much easier! :D

And, yeah, I hate the media. I'm glad I don't own a TV.

you don't have a tv, what about a radio:?
:iconmoonstone27:
technically i think I am. I'm just not 100% sure about the mirror and if it even looks like mirror:hmmm:.
No worries friend, I'm not that low at least not all the time. Only if I'm having a bad day or I feel as if I'm being judged by others, which is probably why I don't go many places^^;.
