Beauty In Imperfections?

Has there ever been anything about yourself that you didn't like, but as you aged and time took its toll you began to actually like? 
Why is that? Is it because we've finally found beauty in a place we've never looked for it ? Is it because all along it was actually beautiful? 
As nice as those sound I don't completely agree with them. I'm not saying they're wrong, they're quite probable. What I'm saying is I think there's a different reason as to how we come across 'finding beauty in our imperfections'. 
Here's what I think...
I believe that we never actually find beauty in the thing/s we hate/d about ourselves. I think that over time we begin to accept our imperfections. When you begin to accept things that you once saw as oh so horrible, it's not that you like it, I in fact become neutral about it -neither do I love it nor hate it anymore. 
I think that as we're ageing our opinions, priorities, and ultimately who we are, changes. People are smart enough to know that if 'that' horrible thing isn't going to disappear within a reasonable amount of time, they begin to deal with it in whatever way they can. The way they deal with it is usually positively, because who would want to, let's say, wake up every morning knowing they've got crooked teeth and be upset about it and maybe even a bit surprised that they hadn't straightened themselves out over night ? NOBODY. 
Instead the person would probably begin to not even take into account that their teeth are crooked and their eyes or mind would bring a different problem or something they like about themselves to their attention. 
That's just my opinion. I don't completely disagree with my first couple examples, it's just that the idea of people accepting their 'flaws' due to the role time plays in your life seems a lot more probable. To me personally, it just makes more sense. :)
