Great quote, isn't it? BUT so hard to follow, you know?
I used to be convinced that I was ugly. No, scratch that, I used to let assholes some people convince me that I was ugly. And it's not like they've got much to do for that. Oh no, I, myself, already found so many flaws in my looks, that honestly, I would be feeling the same without their remarks.
It made me really unhappy. I judged myself constantly - for not having silky shiny hair, for being a size bigger than all the "pretty" girls, for brown eyes (because I would rather have blue)...for everything. Of course, I tried to change, all this struggle with diets and cute clothes and dying my hair and strange thing is every time I thought I got rid of one flaw, another would pop up.
And that is actually what it is, darling. Just an endless circle of feeling ugly. Different reasons - same sadness.
The only way to stop it and become beautiful consists of few simple steps.
Accept yourself.
Doesn't matter if you are planning to change your style or lose weight and become a super model alike in few months, no. Accept yourself right now, make peace with your flaws and only then plan on how to work with them
Some things cannot be changed. Unless you find a way to change your DNA code... don't be harsh to yourself for not looking like a Victoria's Secret model.
Ignore the trends. Everyone is obsessed with new lipstick shade, dress style and you feel like having that does not make you look as pretty as that girl from instagram? Then it's just not your thing and all you gotta do is just find the style that makes you even more beautiful.
Don't be lazy. My mother used to say that not every woman is born gorgeous, but every woman can be beautiful by simply taking care of themselves.
And the most important...don't ever compare yourself to others. We are all different and often people we find attractive, suffer from exact same insecurities as we do, and that is normal. Beauty is not about perfection, it's more about the way you present yourself to this world. xx
