From the diary of a Black-Skinned person

"When I was hated the color of my skin, I thought Is The Almighty created everyone as beautiful as s/he looks own...??”, ans was answerable by myself, but after the sequences going on and on, I consider and I believe God created everyone in his own image, in the image of God he created Him, male and female He created them, as beautiful as s/he is.”

People look in the mirror everyday and constantly hear the voices of another inside their head. They tell them that they're ugly, fat, stupid, useless.....”, it goes on and on. And every time they look in that mirror they break down because of their own defined insecurities. But why should we let what society believes is 'beauty' define who we think we are? Beauty can only be found on the inside, but people seem to forget that, and conflict to find this outside.

I used to look in the mirror everyday and see someone who was ugly, hideous, and stupid. I hated the color of my skin. I hated my hair, my eyes, just everything. I wanted to look like my friends. They were always the ones who got the most attention, and they didn't even try. I prayed for days that I could get something to make me look like them. And at an early age of 9, I wished that I could have plastic surgery (thank goodness my parents said no). I let my own insecurities tear me down instead of throwing those insecurities out of my life and gaining confidence. It went on like this for years, and I always tried to look like someone else, or act like someone else, I just wanted to be anyone else but me.

Then one day I heard someone else talking about how ugly, and horrible they looked. It dawned on me that I was just like him. It made me want to change myself because I was tired of hating myself. Plus, there were so many other people who I'm sure didn't like me anyway, with changing myself and beginning to love myself, this was one less person to worry about

Remember, God made us in the image of Him. So how can we possibly be ugly when God is such a beautiful being? I thank God every day because he helped me gain my confidence slowly, but surely. Yeah I have my days but I usually am able to put it out of my mind. I've always wanted to change something about myself, but if God created me this way, then who am I to complain? .
