A Little Something For Us ALL To Remember!

I feel as if this world is full of too much criticism. Many are faced with the problem of not being "attractive" enough. In reality, we have all been brain washed to believe we must BE a certain way in order to fit in. Although we are still told to just be ourselves, no one takes that seriously. No one really wants to be their self. This is a painful time we live in. I don't believe that anyone finds themselves ugly to their own self, I believe that they know they will not be beautiful to someone else. We all must love ourselves, they say, but we must have a reason to in the first place. We are born with the most innocent mind ever, and it takes just one small unkind work from a parent, or someone you look up to or thought you were friends with, to crush that innocence. I used to be the most depressed person ever, I never thought I was pretty enough for the world to let me in. What I have found in my 22 years of journey in this life is this: Hope. There is always something or someone that can change it all up for us. Whether it is video games, drawing, that guy that brings you flowers, don't let anyone take your hope away. Don't let anyone deter you from your hopes and dreams. We may live in a cruel world, but if you take the time to be the beautiful soul we were all born as, we could possibly change this world..for the better.

I learned a long time ago to not worry about what others thought of me. I am who I am and unapologetically so. There will always be people who try to put you in to their mold. Resist. Be who and what you are.
