Today appearance has become so important to
everyone. It's really annoying actually. When you wake up every morning and go
to the mirror, who do you see? Do you see a strong, confident person ready to
go to college and be on your own? Or, do you notice all your flaws? Like your
hair not looking perfect, your shoes not matching your outfit, or your eye
shadow just looks stupid when it actually looks great. Are you afraid of
wearing something your mother bought you because people might make fun of it?
Or do you not care and wear it to appreciate your mother's willing to give? It
makes me sad to think people are so judgmental upon appearance. It also makes
me even more sad that I care about people's thoughts and comments.
I try so hard to break off and be my own person but it is hard. Every day as I am walking to school I see so many pretty, skinny girls. They may be the prettiest girl in the school but their appearance doesn't get them too far in life. But to me, the girls that stand out the most are the girls that are brave enough to be themselves. They don't care about what others say, and they dress to please themselves, not others. They are confident and proud. They don't show any shame of wearing that pink sweater their grandmother made them for Christmas. They are very thankful and comfortable with themselves. They are the girls guys should be chasing, not the girls that are pretty appearance wise but have ugly personalities.
Be who you want to be, dress how you want to, and most importantly, never let anyone bring you down. You are good at something, and you are unique. Represent your parents and your grandparents as great as you can. Be brave and give yourself high expectations. Someday it will all pay off. You might become a doctor and cure cancer. You might become a teacher and impact many lives. You might become an art therapist and save lives.
Someday I'll conquer the burden of self-consciousness and be myself. So think before you judge someone. You don't know if they come from an abusive home. You don't know if they are barely making it. You don't know enough.
Live Without Regrets.

It is really sad how society has evolved. Even I am guilty of having to get up every single morning and doing my makeup and hair. I as well hope that I can change that habit of mine and be comfortable in my natural skin. You are a very pretty girl and I love your style!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I have been thinking a little about this lately as well. It also makes me sad that I care what others think about me. I question why, but your right, it is hard. It is so important to me that people like me and I think we are all a little guilty of that. Your words and your writing are beautiful and it pushed me a little more to look in the mirror and love me for me; and to look at others and love them for them. I think you are beautiful inside and out. thank you for your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Well i know i already commented on one of your other posts but you are so good at getting to the bottom and the truth of things. It's so true, what you said about looking at yourself in the mirror and i have been there. Lately i've been thinking the same thing about the world and everyday i do the same thing. I look at how much our society and the world looks at beauty. It makes me so sad to see the girls in our school who try so hard when she is already so beautiful. Thank you so much for that!
