I am not too keen on my nose, I don't like my knees, I hate my ankles, I am unsure about my behind, I don't like my legs at all. I am not too sure about my chin, my forehead is a bit dodgy. But, overall, I can live with it.

Wherever light is, no matter how weak, these flowers will find it. And that's such an admirable thing. And such a lesson in life.
