Just-Right Beautiful

I keep seeing pictures
Filtered and airbrushed and beautyfaced
Wrinkles smoothed, lines erased, pigment evened out
And bland as store bought bread.

Looking less like yourself isn't beautiful
Erasing, painting, changing who you are
Isn't beautiful
You're beautiful 
When you're
Curled up in your pjs reading that book 
Being brave enough to pick up your first surf board
Laughing loud and long 
Kissing your mama
Crying with your best friend
Eating noodles and debating with your coworkers
Walking that enormous dog
Feeding those chickens
Making messes and magic in the kitchen
Driving with one hand on the wheel and the other on mine 
Just living 
Elbows deep.
Not giving a thought to that camera or mirror or unflattering angle. 

You're beautiful
Just-right beautiful 
Just right now
Right there where you are.
