This is great you did not mention looks anywhere in this...I know you have in the past but there is so much more to EVERYONE than their looks, and I do believe this song adresses that, it is a character driven song, and character is what drives EVERYONE, wheel chair bound folks, burn victims, we are all beautiful people inside and out and everywhere!!! Alanis Morisette is a CLASS ACT, it is more power to everyone that she took the time to write this song and get it out there!!!! Your part of the post about whether someone chooses to love you etc....I am single and choose to love MYSELF (& everyone here at PC) Let us all choose to love ourselves and not be hard on ourselves, like you wrote, if it was someone ELSE we would tell them they had value..

...Let us all look in the mirror and tell ourselves earnestly, "I have value...am not perfect.....but am trying my best...life is a journey...not a destination.....and I love taking the journey with ya, myself
