Its just sad that the world has come to this when teenagers just don't believe that they are infact good-looking in their own unique ways.The amount of scrutiny with which we look at our outer shells is horrific.We map out every tiny detail and think about how it could've been/looked better if it were conventional or what the society thought was normal.Firstly I'd like to tell you about beauty.Beauty is not just when a person wins a pageant or if a person is declared to be the hottest person alive its the soul inside which is beautiful.There are two types of beauty in this world perceived and objective.
Objective beauty is what society or people in general think is beautiful and this keeps changing over time. If you remember till about the 16th century in Europe women who were on the heavier side of the scale were called beautiful whereas from the 17th century really pale women were known to be pretty. So what I mean to say from all this is that objective beauty doesn't last, because as and when you grow older you are going to start to get wrinkles and maybe put on some pounds , yeah you may get some surgery done to prevent it for a while but its going to happen as you know very well "Age will catch up."
Now when I talk about perceived beauty I mean the beauty from within, the charisma of a person that draws you to them like a magnet and always remember charisma never ages whatever attracted you to the person then will attract you to them till they die. I have some friends like these who may not be the best looking physically even after having some outstanding characteristics but their persona is so amazing that you have no time to judge them about their looks as you are just in awe or their intelligence or how good they are at sports or even by how crazy they are! I can't say that I don't have friends with the perfect features and i can't even say that I've never been jealous of them but I can definitely say that even though I am just a sixteen year old I've realised and learned never to judge a book by its cover no matter what. Don't get me wrong I'm as self obsessed as the next girl but atleast now I have the confidence to take a picture with my gang of friends and I can accept compliments gracefully as I know now that they aren't sarcastic remarks.
I really hope that by reading this people who feel unpretty like I do most of the times really try to acknowledge the fact that yes you have some really amazing features maybe you eyes , a spotless face or well toned legs. And please don't forget that the beauty lies inside you , yes it seems hypocritical coming from me but I'm trying my best to believe it too , Its a long journey and hopefully I'm not alone this time. And to those people who judge people on how they look I'd just like to say one thing one day you may not look pretty and when someone else judges you at that point and time based on that you will be hurt and you will feel how we've felt all our lives just cause of your comments. So please don't judge people when you don't want them to judge you.
