Have you ever just looked at a picture of yourself and felt terrible or felt beautiful, because I have. I feel like this may be a common thing among girls, but it's something that everyone will struggle with. No matter how old or young, your gender, or how confident you may be, there will most likely be a time in your life when you feel like you are ugly. That time for me is now.
Of course in the back of my mind I know this is untrue and I have all these amazing friends and family around me telling me how pretty I am and how thin, but the only things I can see are the things that make me stand out and be different from the preconceived notion of what is "pretty." I have a million freckles, frizzy, curly hair, my stomach sticks out a little, and I have large lips. None of these are bad things and none of them I hate, in fact a times I love them, but at other times I find them to be annoying and bothersome.
So, What I want you take take form this I guess is that it's okay to be insecure about things, in fact I'm pretty sure it's human nature, but I want to you to also know that you don't need to change the way you look just because someone doesn't like you. They don't deserve you if they want you to change and I know that's hard to follow through on and that sometimes those people who want to change us make us feel really special, but after you change they won't want you because you'll have become a different person.
It's hard to be true to oneself with so many things telling you this is what's beautiful at the moment, but remember that someone is going to love you flaws. And until you find your perfect someone I'll be here to talk.
Love,
