#Ulog: The Awkward Side of Me

Yes, that’s me on the photo.

The Awkward Side

Hello Friends and Steemians! Once again, welcome to a blog that features my awkward self, the U-log. This trending and new initiative by @surpassinggoogle has made me step out of my comfort zone and slowly made a way for me to express myself. I am absolutely glad that the comments I received in my very first ulog showed so much positivity and in those comments I felt that I too was part of humanity.

Today, I’ll be sharing to you my awkward and weird sides. Society calls weirdness a flaw but I call it the uniqueness within me. Being different from others does not make me or even you weird or nonacceptable. We are sort of a variety. When looking at a garden, it would be boring or dull to see the same flowers filling the whole place and that it why we were created with different faces, characters, and personalities.

I admit that I had tons of insecurities and I just can’t eradicate the feeling of being envious by the people I compare myself with, but later on I had realize that I was a sunflower among a thousand roses.

As a person who loves taking photos, I don’t really see myself as a the-camera-loves-you kind of girl. Everytime I take photos of myself, all I see was my bad angles, large eyebags, and anything that I called flaw. I was very anxious of how I looked and dressed. After taking several photos or selfies, I end up deleting them because I don’t think that it was worth it or if people would like it. How shallow of me.

As time goes by, the flaws that were present from the day I was born up to now has turned into an inspiration for me and slowly I am accepting them little by little. I realized that I wouldn’t move forward if I wouldn’t be true to myself. I had enough of having the perfect image and live someone elses life. Today, this sunflower will bloom among a thousand roses.
