Confidence is Beautiful
I know barely anyone will read this but I'd like to share a little bit I've learned about life now that I'm 18, and it relates to insecurity. Something I've noticed about the girls on this website is how insecure they are. This is completely normal, I was the same when I was younger, I worried about my hair and my weight and my complexion. Then, I read a quote on here that went along the lines of "Love yourself so no one else has too". At first it seemed like an incredibly lonely thing to say. However, the more I thought about it the more it made sense. I spent a long time deciding what I liked in a person and trying to become that, and I've managed it. I don't care that people think I'm a geek, because being a geek makes me happy. I have 10 piercings, 9 are around my face, and I get a lot of funny looks for it. I think they look great though, and this gives me confidence, as does my blue and purple hair. You can act and look exactly how you want to if you put the effort in, and make sure it's what -you- want, not what society expects. On another note, stop worrying about how guys view your appearance. I'm bisexual, and I've never fallen for a girl based on her looks. It's been her smile, or her sense of humor, or how kind she is, sometimes even the way she speaks or carries herself. There are so many beautiful things about you that you won't see in the mirror, please try to look for them. Hang around the people you think are amazing, you'll gradually become more like them and you may end up finding yourself amazing also. There is nothing sexier than a girl who is confident in herself and her appearance, regardless of what others think, you'd be surprised how far it can get you. Heads up wittians, highschool is tough, but the best is yet to come.
