Ok I am a total Bridget Jones Diary fan. I love love love the movie. Renee Zellweger in that movie is great. I can relate to her. I have both movies but cannot resist watching when it is on tv. If I am channel surfing and it is on. I am watching. Crazy I know.
But the line in the movie that drives it all home for me is when Colin Firth's character (Marc Darcy) tells her "that he likes her just the way she is." I think about this often. I have come to the conclusion that this is what I want in my life. Someone that "likes me just the way I am."
I see it everyday. Couples that to us on the outside appear to be oddly matched. We wonder what the more attractive partner sees in the less attractive partner. Our perception of this anyway since it does not enter between the two. Unless you think like I do. I use to think this of the ex to be and myself. Not what I saw in him but what he saw in me.
It has taken me along time to be comfortable in my own skin. I am still my own worst critic but who isn't. So now I think to myself will I find that person for me? Whether I am dressed to the tens or just pull on t-shirt pair of jeans with no make up and pull my hair back. Or has that chance passed me by already.
Whether Mr.Darcy shows up or not maybe the person that is meant to "like me" for me is myself.
