Words I will probably never say with true confidence... in a joke maybe ☺
The reason... whenever I see myself on a photo or in a mirror, all I see are the many flaws. So when someone pays me a compliment; it is hard to just say "thank you".
Earlier today a stranger called me "the lady with the beautiful eyes" and again I thought as I always do... "what do you see?". When I was much younger that kind of compliment made me feel like a fool because I thought the guy is just making fun of me as he cannot possibly see me (or anything of me) as beautiful.
I suppose sometimes we need to remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What I see as beautiful or appealing might not be so, for another.
With all this being said; I still believe inner beauty far outweigh outer beauty.
When I looked at my granny at the tender age of 90+, I saw true beauty... the wrinkles did not matter because I could always feel her love and absolutely beautiful heart ♥.
Same with my Mom; she has beautiful eyes; but her heart is warmer and kinder than many people I know. We might have our differences and butt heads many a time; but when someone is in need and she can help, she will.
See the beauty in others... not just the flaws! Don't be shy to tell a person what you admire about them... it might just what is needed to brighten the day!
