The thing with pretty girls is...

they aren`t perfect.

I have this close friend and I was with her awhile ago. She`s gorgeous, I tell you. She can also be considered somewhat perfect. She has the looks, brains, friends, money, every attribute normal people would consider perfect. Honestly, I was really intimidated by her when I first met her but I got to know her and from then on, I wasn`t.

She approached me awhile ago and she suddenly broke down. She opened up to me and told me her problems and her insecurities about herself. Now, this naive little girl inside of me was shocked because I was so used to seeing her all perfect, confident and perky and suddenly out of nowhere, she breaks down.

From that simple experience, I realized that nobody`s perfect. Okay this is starting to sound like an essay but whatever, this is the truth. Those girls you see in campus and envy for having everything: gorgeous looks, a rockin` social life, that hot jock boyfriend…well they sure as hell ain`t perfect. There are days when they feel ugly too and when they feel that they aren`t good enough. Like you and me, they get bad days too, they just probably do their best not to show it since, I guess, people aren`t supposed to see that side of them, no matter how bad that sounds.

But I guess one thing every person should know, especially girls is that confidence is beauty, no matter how cliche` that sounds. Honestly, I don`t really see myself as that incredibly pretty girl everyone envies, I just am content with how I look like, I like what I see in the mirror and that to me is beautiful. You should never underestimate yourself and think that another person`s better than you or what `cause then, you`re just letting yourself down.

I hope I helped other girls there with insecurities. I have those too but I don`t show them. I`m satisfied with what God has given me and that`s what matters.

Remember that beauty isn`t always external but internal too. You`re beautiful. ♥
