Beautiful

I'm in a sort of support the world's suicidal today, soo... let's talk about beautiful people. I'm beautiful. You're beautiful. The girl crying is beautiful. The one sweating on the volleyball court is beautiful. The one playing the violin is beautiful. The one reading is beautiful. The one with the bruises on her face is beautiful. The stick-thin one who used to weigh 100 pounds is beautiful. The tough girl, the girly girl, the musician, the reader, the teacher, the artist, the animal lover, the sport girl, the smart girl, they're all beautiful. Every boy is beautiful, too. Fat is beautiful, thin is beautiful. Blonde is beautiful. Brunette is beautiful. Black is beautiful, Asian is beautiful, Hispanic is beautiful, caucasian is beautiful.
And I guess I'm getting a bit preachy but I just feel like nobody believes that anymore. We set standards for ourselves that are impossible to live up to. People get hurt and they lose faith in themselves. It takes a very confident teenager to believe she is beautiful all the time. People judge. It's just the way the world is. They never tell you what is good about you, they tell you what you need to change about yourself. And sometimes it takes a serious kick in the face to see your value. I don't believe I'm beautiful on the outside, not at all. But I do believe that I'm beautiful inside. I think, I feel, I create, I do, and I am. I am human. I admit that without pride, because we all are human. We all have flaws. It just takes a special select set of people to see past your flaws, outer and inner, and see everything good about you. Nobody bothers to do that anymore, and that's why girls don't feel beautiful. Boys go for the skinny, made up, fake girls because they're easier. They're pretty. But you don't need to be like that to be beautiful. Honestly, being beautiful is being real. So now that you feel confident, go outside, look at life, and realize how beautiful you are."Oh, I fake it oh so well, that nobody can tell what I mean and why my words are less than parallel with my feet." Don't fake it. Be real.
