In this superficially based world, I've often wondered how I could improve myself. I could lose weight, and wear more makeup. I could spend extra money on the nicest clothing available, and I could learn tricks for styling my hair. I could force myself to be beautiful to the standards of others, or I could find ways to be happy with what I've got. I've begun to realize that maybe my beauty doesn't lie in the gaze that meets my own in the mirror, so what do I think makes me beautiful?
I want to improve.
I want to improve not only myself, but the world around me. I want to make life better for others, and I want to make myself healthier and happier. I don't want to simply give up and say "fuck it", allowing life to drag me in whichever direction it pleases. I want to grab my life by the reigns and make myself a better person who can live a long and happy life. My will to be better is beautiful.
I want to create things.
I don't want to leave this world without even the faintest whisper of me left to remember after I'm gone. I want to create things and leave my mark on this world, or at least the people in it. I continue to write, even if others tell me I'm no good. I continue creating for the feeling that I get once something I built with my own two hands gets released into the world to be enjoyed by others. My creative nature is beautiful.
I find my own confidence.
I have caught myself tearing up at the sight of my fat rolls or the stretch marks on my belly. I'm a teenage girl, it just feels wrong to have the body that I do. I feel too fat, no matter what I do to try and fix that issue. Although this is a major flaw that I believe brings me down a level or two, II manage to find things I love about myself. I may not have the nicest body, and I may not have the sweetest sounding voice or the skill to make people remember me with just a flip of my hair, but I do have many good aspects. I cling to this light within me and I nurture it until it becomes a full blown positive aspect of myself. My ability to find confidence in myself is beautiful.
I just want to help.
I want to help others. I will always lend a listening ear to any upset person. I will not drop you simply because you complained to me about something I didn't enjoy, or get irritated with you for not being good at something you want me to teach you. I want to help people improve themselves as I try to improve myself, and I don't want anyone else to feel down on themselves. I want to make people happy and healthy. My nurturing side is beautiful.
I am a thinker.
I try to build up my brains in order to accomplish more. I have the craving to learn, and it isn't something that I'm willing to give up on. I try to think out issues rationally, and I apply my knowledge to real life situations in order to deal with life and it's many obstacles. I exercise my mind as much as I possibly can without over doing it. My intelligence is beautiful.
I am strong.
I have been through many tough things in life. I've seen the brutal claws of abuse, and felt the sting of rejection and judgment across my innocent little mind. I've seen bad things, but I haven't given up. I fight against the things life has thrown at me, and so far I am not willing to give up. My emotional strength is beautiful.
I have come such a long way in such a short amount of time.
I used to be in a terrible state of mind. I was sad, alone, and I felt hideous. I couldn't do anything right. I was my own bully, along with other people. Today I am a confident young woman who is ready to take on the world with bare hands and an open mind. I have taken enormous strides since beginning my journey through the real world as a child, and I plan to keep going further and further each day. My ability to keep going and improving is beautiful.
I am a beautiful person, just as any of you can be.
I am a human, just as all of you. I am not considered beautiful by the physical standards set today, but I believe that I am beautiful. I have traits that make me a beautiful person, just as anyone else can. Find peace with yourself, compassion for others, and the willingness to learn and grow as a human being, and you will also be considered beautiful if you don't think you are currently. Beauty is not only skin deep. Beauty on the outside of the skin just isn't as important as the beauty under that skin. When you feel ugly, remember this post and remember that you can be beautiful if you just allow yourself to be a good, beautiful person. The only one holding you back is yourself <3
