Picking up the pieces.

All you can be ready for is the good. 'Cause when it comes, you invite it in.

To build it up, then tear it down. Like an old abandoned house. Like a set of armor. Like a fragile porcelain vase. Like ourselves. I believe that we each have in us, a certain amount confidence. Confidence to face tomorrow's troubles, to handle yesterdays backlogs. Yet we often get setback by the many potholes amidst our frenetic pursuits. And yes, just like how a house of bricks gets worn down, like how chinks are found in armor, and how a porcelain vase shatters into countless number of shards and fragments, we get disheartened from our unsuccessful attempts.

We wallow in the quagmire of self doubt, question our value and worth, despair. I do too. But not for long, not for long. And that is because we can't afford it. Can't afford to give slip, or give up everything that has been or will be. Aye, and here's to a more confident you. Don't let the words of others stop you from being who you are, nor let it hinder you in any, any of your possible endeavors. You're better than that. ;D

Beauty, in the eye of the beholder. (:
Just the way you are - Bruno Mars.

Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see

But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same

So don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
