Beauty

As we all know it, me and my friends are stepping into a whole new level of the "Teenage World". Regarding that we are in first year of high school, things are getting different day by day. I am seeing a big difference in what my friends were and what my friends are right now.

Anyways, just like same old everyday, we chit-chat about stuff that we thought we'd talk about. At one point, one of us will ask another, "Hey, do I look beautiful?" "Am I beautiful?" "Do I look okay?" "Do you think I'm pretty?" etc, etc, etc.

Make-up, make-up, make-up... ooh la la, make-up! (But still not for me.)

A question that probably any girl has asked somebody, or if not, thought in their head while gazing at themselves through the mirror. There are some factors why these girls ask stuff like these, like...

1. The first and the most obvious reason why (to me); is because they fancy somebody. Yes, they fancy someone... a guy, and no girl would like to look horrifying in front of her crush. So, they keep questioning whether they look good or not.
2. They saw their favorite girl celeb on TV or in a magazine or around the net somewhere, and boy, do they look gorgeous. Thoughts flash in their heads about how they could look like them, why can't they be like them... etc.
3. Hm. I don't know what else.

Really, I am no Dr. Phil, but I know the mind of girls since I am a girl myself. I am not saying that the reasons above are accurate, but I know how it usually goes.

So, here are points that I am trying to state. Since right now and 'til probably forever I am gonna learn and grow and learn and grow, I have learned some priceless stuff from my own personal life experiences:

1. No matter how beautiful somebody may be on the outside, it's really no use if she is rotten on the inside.
2. Not all people (and yes, guys are people) judge books from their covers. Some are nice enough to search for the good things on your insides and are willing to get to know you better. If you have a lovely personality, they will love it when you're around.

The thing is, beauty on the outside isn't all the matter that has to be thought of deeply in this world. Yes, looking beautiful and feeling content when you see yourself in the mirror is a great feeling, but, well... that's not really important. I know that my subject here seems cliche, but I thought that I needed to post this on my blog so that girls around the world can (maybe?) read it and feel good about themselves. Some people still isn't feeling good, and that's why.

See, I know we all have insecurities. Yes, I have them too. Nobody is perfect, and nobody will be, but somebody, out there will see you perfectly. Do not let some guy define you, you define yourself. Girls have to be independent, and who cares if we don't have a boyfriend or maybe, just a guy that loves us. I personally don't want to lower my standards just because I need to have one of those. 

What counts is what's on the inside. People will like you for what you are on the outside; but nevertheless, people will love you for what you are on the inside.
