I love Cyrano De Bergerac. I can relate to him.... not by a nose mind you... I like my nose. But by an imperfection. While Cyrano's low self -esteem low self confidence was his ugly nose, mine was eczema ..it was called running eczema because it never stay too long in one place. This use to drive me nuts growing up and dating. I felt as if i had Leprosy - really. Sad because my mom and pop felt bad for me too. It did help much that I had already wore glasses much less felt ugly with those nasty red patches of skin. my parents introduced me to the Edmond Rostand's lovely book based on Hercule Savien de Cyrano de Bergerac, the real Cyrano.
Since then I have always felt a kinship with Cyrano. No longer I have those ugly skin patches and I like wearing my glasses.. I find they make me look sexy! lol ! I have boosted my self confidence since then even though it was a long painful journey.
I was always curious why someone not so attractive would be arm to arm with a beautiful man or woman.
My father and mother use to say, " I can think of only three things: either your loaded ( money wise), have a nice package and can do wonders in the bedroom or you have a beautiful heart and soul."
I picked number three... and my parents thought the same thing. One should really pick the beauty of your heart and soul for it brings out the external beauty much more attractive, makes you irresistible. Beauty IS only skin deep.
When we are young the hormones rage, we just want to experience all carnal... until soul meets soul and takes us deeper in the realm…. That realm of love.
Like Cyrano, I am a poet and quite artful in writing love letters.
Thanks Cyrano, you are lovely!
