When you look in the mirror and can't find a thing to love because you're looking at yourself through someone else's mind, stand really, really close to the mirror, and just look at your eyes. They're beautiful.
When you're feeling so low that you're walking around with your eyes on the ground, look up at the people around you. They're all dealing with problems of their own, and one of the only things giving them that strength is knowing that they're not alone, because people like you are having awful days too.
When you think you don't have the strength, close your eyes and take a deep breath. Of course you have the strength. You just need to sit still for a moment, be quiet for a moment, and put your thoughts in order - slowly.
When you don't have the confidence to go talk to that super-hot guy you like, think about your eyes, how beautiful they are, and then smile at him instead. When you feel beautiful, when you find something about yourself to love, everybody around you sees it too.
These are valuable lessons I've learnt over the past couple of months.
Free. Pre-occupied. Haiku love.

played at Bangalore. And I missed the concert.
I was moving between work teams,...

I LIKE this post!
You're beautiful
Your problems aren't as big as they seem
You are an ocean of strength
These lessons are so simple, but cannot be taught, no? Catharsis is necessary, some catastrophe that forces you to see things as they are.
That 4th lesson I didn't quite get. Not going to smile at super-hot guys anyway. :-D
