“I know there are some things about yourself that you think you’d like to change, but you should know that there is some boy out there who is going to like you for everything you are, including those parts of you that even you don’t like — those are going to be the things he likes the most.”

Oh this is the kind of crap that the media has subtly made us believe. None of this is true. No one is going to like you for EVERYTHING you are. But some will accept you for what you are and overlook your flaws although they will still be annoyed by them. We have to learn to be content - hell, we have to learn to be grateful - for anyone who can do that for us and not foolishly continue waiting for someone to come along and like you for everything you are. That is just never going to happen.
