it seems to me like there is this universal standard look of beauty..... long flowy hair (even beyoncay, hale bare, maraiah carey spend hours turning it into something Caucasians and Latinas have) what ever happened to curly hair? even curls the curls the have are fake!
not that i am saying all those women are ugly or anything but if thats the standard then heck i'm way out of the picture....... and its making me feel terrible. i am not fat or anything, my face is clear no acne... its just that my nose isn't a ski slope, my hair is super curly and my eyes are pit black (i know that is anatomically not possible but it is the last shade of brown before black!) i'm not tall (only 5'4) and i only fit into a size 8 (sometimes!).........

this sounds cheesy but seriously with that high of a standard what are my odds to look beautiful in the eyes of someone?! if there are any odds at all...

this is really depressing ...

i dont know why, but it seems like people are brainwashed to feel the need to look up to all women in magazines and on t.v. and if you really think about it, theres nothing THAT good about them. i mean, how are they any different from a normal person? besides the fame of course.

i guess it is good to have a role model in life, but it shouldnt be taken as 'i HAVE to look like this person, or else i wont be beautiful.' thats just so cliche, and not true at all.

i honestly think that everyone has their own kind of beauty in them, no matter what it is. we are all different in our own ways, and thats what makes us who we are today. and you should admire that about yourself--being like someone else isnt as cool as some people think it would be if you really think about it.

my hair is naturally curly, and i used to hate it with a passion. but you know what, people spend tons of money on one hair appointment to get their hair to look half as good as what we were born with. and it doesnt even last long anyway. but us, we can play with our hair so many different ways--and it holds any style. its great.

im 5'5 and i feel like a giant compared to some of my friends. i get self conscious when i dress up and have to wear heels, because i hate the fact of having to look down while i talk to someone. so enjoy your height--the shorter, the better. [:

there are plently of guys out there with different tastes in girls. im not saying that every single guy will like certain things about you, because thats not true about anyone. but i do know that their are plently of guys who are attracted to your characteristics.

you are beautiful in peoples eyes, so dont ever think otherwise girl. you have your friends and family. and your going to meet people down the road who love the way you are, and wouldnt want you to change for the world.


people are always going to want what they dont have. we just need to learn to appreciate what we do have, and work with it. and eventually, we grow to love it, and will be glad that we are this way. trust me.
