Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful

Confidence is something that is elusive in this day and age. When you see pictures everywhere of people who are PERFECT you cant help but wish you look like them. I don't want to kid myself. I have these kind of feeling all the time, but one thing that keeps me going is that (stereotypically--I'm not saying that this is always true) the person in that picture is a brat, because she knows how good she looks. Don't get me wrong. I know I'm not the ugliest person in the world. In fact, most the time I think I look great. I just don't like putting out that I am stuck on myself, and better than someone just because I think I am pretty. I always think of the scene in She's the Man where the girl says "Girls with butts like mine don't talk to guys with faces like yours."

In my experience the people who are considered not the best to look at are the ones who are the most beautiful. Someone with a good personality and who is willing to go out of their way just to help someone is definitely better looking than a person who sees someone laying in the mud and just passes by because they don't want to ruin their look.

 Are there times I look in the mirror and think "Ew, I look terrible." Yes, but I wouldn't change anything about myself or how I look. I like to think that even on a day where I feel ugly, I can make myself the prettiest person in the room by being a good person and well, just being me. Why does it matter what you look like anyway? The more important thing should be your personality and how you treat others.

This is a video my Sister-in-law Tiffany posted on facebook. I thought it went well with this topic.Well, it did, right up to the point where I got away from my planned topic... I'm sure I will touch on that later. It's still a great video though. :)
