"Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, i saw debris
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed "

"I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today "
-Elvis Costello

Happened to come across this song and found it to be a very apt reminder off how we should control our own self esteem and worth.

Best remembered during those times in out daily life we get assaulted by numerous ads that market products that prey on our insecurities. Stuff that makes you think the slimmer, lighter, whiter version of you would make a better person.

Oxymoronically, the easiest and hardest thing in this world to be is to be one's own self.
