You're an individual. You're You. What makes You that You is Your smile, Your voice; the way You walk, the way You take everything calmly in Your stride; Your interests, Your love; Your personality and Your features.

No one can take these things away from You. All these combined as one forms a unique and beautiful individual, You. There is no one else in this entire universe that is exactly like You. No matter how much they may look like You, talk like You and have in common with You, the bottom line is that they'll never be You. You can't be replaced.

Another thing is, You can't be someone else. The same things apply, You can look like them and have everything in common with them, but the one thing that will never be is that You will never be them.

We all have a special something that we all treasure deep inside and no one can ever take that away from You, just like we can't take it away from others. No one is exactly the same; we're all different in Mind, Body and Soul. We're all meant to be.

Learn to love Yourself. To do this You have to truly look inside Yourself. Find the center of the whole You and work on it. Build on it. Work on it's potential. Once this is done, then You can look at Yourself in the mirror and honestly say "I can see myself ". This is because when You have worked upon Your inside, what You see of Yourself on the outside becomes what You are on the inside. You'll be able to see the whole You reflected back 100%.

This is what true beauty is: knowing who You are and accepting it. Beauty, I believe, comes from within and this is how it shines through.
