Because beauty isn’t how you look. Beauty is in your confidence and the way you treat others. Beauty is how YOU want to be beautiful. I didn’t like who I was, so I changed it.
Yeah, you’re allowed to do that.
I cut my hair, started eating fruit for breakfast, cleaned my room, got organized, dance my everloving ass off to the songs I love…. I just let myself live. If people don’t like it, fine.
If you feel like a hot mess, like nothing is right, then get rid of the mess. Cut out the negative people, do your school work, fold your laundry, match your socks, and for gods sake clean your damn room…. Because after you’re not a mess…. all that’s left is bein’ hot
I just stopped focusing on all the negative and what I CANT do, and started looking at what I CAN do.
I CAN talk to people that make me laugh. I CAN groove to the radio. I CAN hug my mom every day. I CAN tell people that I think are cute, “Hey, you’re really cute and I hope you have an AMAZING day!” because ether smile makes it worth it.
Life seems so much lighter and happier when you make other people smile, enjoy yourself, and just have a good time. I have a great time just driving down the road. I put all of the windows down, sing to the people next to me at stop lights, and just GROOVE. I read cute books and talk to my partner about things that make me smile. FOR EXAMPLE:
I have a habit of getting what the voice at the Starbucks drive through recommends.
A) It gives you an insight to what kind of person they are.
B) Its their favorite drink. They don’t mess up something they probably make ALL THE TIME.
However, today, the barista manning the window was possibly the cutest girl I have ever seen in my life. 10/10 would get a trillion Caramel Macchiatos just to see her again.
But the best part is that when I told her, “Hey, I think you’re beautiful. Have an amazing day.” (Cause life is too short to ignore beautiful people), the look she gave me was the most adorable thing in the world. She just looked so happy.
Everyone deserves to be happy. I’m glad I could make someone smile today.
If you ever REALLY need to smile, I want you to turn on any song, put you iPod on shuffle, I don’t care. But I want you turn on a song and sing it as loudly as you can in your best muppet impression.
10/10 will crack up laughing.
If you wanna love yourself? Start with being happy.
