real

 

i may have a squinty eye when i smile,

but it doesn't mean that i can't take pictures with my friends.

i may have short, muscular legs,

but it doesn't mean that i can't run fast or pedal  hard.

i may have small hands that have a hard time reaching chords on the piano,

but it doesn't mean that i can't play Rachmaninov's Prelude in C Minor.

i may have a big forehead--

but so does J-Lo.

i may not have the highest fashion sense,

but i am comfortable everywhere i go.

i am not perfect--far from it in fact.

but,

i. am. real.

and proud of it.
