La Vida Es Asi

i haven't been writing at ALL :( i guess i had too many vague complicated feelings to verbalize. anyways.. i find it soo sad that so many people aren't allowed to see the beauty and perfection in them because they're so concerned about how others define "beautiful". i struggled with that a lot in my past; especially from 7th - 10th grade (i'm going into my junior year), but i'm at a point in my life where i realize that "beautiful" is what you MAKE it, and the best version of YOURSELF is gorgeous, and perfect just the way it is. appreciating your own beauty allows you to see beauty in other people, and makes you a happier, more confident person in general. don't compare yourself to others - it takes away from the gorgeous person that you are, and prevents you from reaching your full potential.
