5.5 Changes Part 2

After a few months of college, I connected with my now boyfriend, who has seen me with and without make-up and says that I'm still pretty/ beautiful/perfect/ect. 

He knows me like the back of his hand and still thinks i'm good enough to be his girlfriend which makes me ecstatic. 
The sad part is, although he tells me all these things, I hardly believe them because I have this mentality that he has to tell me these things because he's my boyfriend. (Disgusting and sad-I know). 

I do, however, believe that I am somewhat attractive when I hear it from random people. Is that weird or normal? I don't really know. I think it's more flattering when it's random. Don't get me wrong, It's not like I think my boyfriend is lying to me when he says those things, but it's just a different effect or feeling when someone else says it. 

Presently, I am more at peace with myself as a person. I know who I am, I'm comfortable with how I look like, and I know what I tolerate and what I don't tolerate (especially with people).
