You Equip Yourself to Look.

I wish "we were still in love with ourselves" (Morrison 74), because, if it were up to society; self-loathing would become quite the trend. Not in love with ourselves in terms of conceit, but being so in love with ourselves that flaws become a foreign concept, and that you are at peace with reflection in the water. It has become so difficult for people to take compliments because they feel obligated to compliment you back, rather than just saying thank you...Or, if you ever run into that one person that just cannot take a compliment, and they continue to try to explain as to why your compliment is invalid. 

Or maybe they actually just can't take the compliment because they just don't think they look they way you say they do. And that's even more painful.

I wish we were so in love with ourselves that our confidence could be naked and we would not be afraid to cover up. Being comfortable in our own skin is probably one of the most important things that can't be taught in school, but one teaches itself. Somebody could spout to you "love yourself" , and that "you're beautiful" all day long; but it'll always amount to nothing if you don't believe it.

I wish those few didn't have to ask "What did we lack?" (Morrison 74), because without question, they'd examine themselves and find nothing that caught them up. Beauty would come in a variety pack and everyone would've created their own definition.
