I'm back. With yet another touchy issue to cover:
Have you ever judged yourself based on what or how someone else is?
Its something we've all done, whether you care to admit it or not.But the question shouldn't be have I? Or haven't I? The real question is why? Each day we are bombarded with images of "perfection", or wealth, happiness, or saddness, beauty, and pain. It gets injected into us so much that we tend to start basing or own lives upon what others have, or do, and most of the time you don't even realize your doing it.
Who said you have to look a certain way in order to be beautiful, and when did we forget that no one is ever gonna be gorgeous enough to please everyone, and that though in your eyes i might be perfect , in his eyes I'm never enough. Who said you have to have this much, and live in this house and drive this car... in order to be respected, and what happened to I respect you because you earned that respect. What happened to I'll show you who I am and if you don't like it... tough, rather then "i can show you some of me...that part you might like". Why do we hide when we're sad or going through pain rather then admitting it and solving it? Why do we define what we must have by what she/he has?
Find out who you are, and accept yourself.. Learn that theres always gonna be something that someone will have that you'll want, and learn to see that you have something that they want. Make mistakes, and laugh at them. Don't hide when you cry, and don't conatin yourself when your happy. When you love someone scream it at the top of your lungs.When you can't stand someone its better to be honest then to be fake. Dream about everything impossible... and know that anything is possible.
You'll never see the courage I know. Its colors richness won't appear within your veiw, but I'll never glow the way that you glow.
