I Am Beautiful

Why do people feel this aggravating compulsion to tell people they're beautiful in facebook pictures just so that they can be called beautiful in return? It's ridiculous! Have people's levels of self-esteem really plunged that low? Are girls really that desperate? We all know how we look, we all know how we really feel about ourselves. Why don't you go declare it to the planet that you think you're fat and ugly, and are seeking out vain compliments in hopes to change this negative image of yourself, when all it does is make you hate yourself more?
If you want to be called beautiful, BE beautiful. Do beautiful things. Take care of people. Take care of animals. Help the environment. Volunteer. Love people. And maybe, just maybe, once you start doing things for other people and the rest of the world instead of your ugly fat self, you'll no longer need to be called beautiful by other people, because maybe you'll know that it doesn't matter whether other people think you're beautiful, it matters whether you think it. You won't need the recognition of vain people with vain words because you'll know of their vanity and that what you do and who you are is not. You'll know that true beauty doesn't lie in a photo-shopped digital picture, it lies within your being. You'll know that your self-esteem isn't built on the world's expectations, it's built on yours. And you'll know that sitting around moping about your miserable, hard-done by life is getting you nowhere but down, and that it is in helping others that we truly help ourselves.
Stop wishing everyone thought you were beautiful, and start being beautiful.
For yourself.
