I don't know how to express this, but I feel ugly today. Ijust wanted to write it, and let it out. And to anyone who feels the same on certain days, umeed karti hu ke aap khud ke sath bhi utni hi narmi se pesh dayenge jitni narmi se hum ek bacche ke sath pesh aate hai. It is hard to love yourself on some days, but if we don't who else will?
