And this is the moment she realizes she’s beautiful. She always has been.. Staring into the mirror, she smiles, for this is the first time in her life she’s loved herself. There was no more hurt, it was all over with. The words that used to fill her unsettled mind vanished.. The hate she used to feel no longer mattered, she had finally found the key to happiness. It was right in front of her all along.. All she had to do was love herself. To stop worrying so much about the stupid shit that came out of everyone’s mouth.. Because it never mattered. it. never. mattered. And it took her far too long to figure it out, and now she had everything.. her life was falling into place. What a waste of time, spend on wondering what was wrong with her. When all along it wasn’t her. It wasn’t the way she looked, or the way she acted. It was the World around her that made her hate herself. You see, there’s people out there that will do and say anything to hurt others.. that’s when you need to step back and realize THIS. There’s people out there that will do anything to make themselves feel better about themselves. They see everything that’s wrong with themselves, bottle it up and take it out on the most vulnerable people they can find. So instead of feeling bad about yourself when someone puts you down, feel bad for them for being so insecure with themselves, and taking their self-hate out on you. People who they haven’t even taken the chance to get to know.. Don’t let it bring you down. Don’t give them the satisfaction.
