You don’t need a boy to be happy and feel pretty.
I know society and movies and media and all that stuff tells you that single girls are supposed to be unhappy but it’s NOT TRUE.
You should feel beautiful for yourself, not a guy. Please understand that while guys can be an important part in your life they are not everything, and life is full of so many other amazing things to feel happy about like friends, family, hobbies, careers/school. A guy should not turn into your whole life.
I’ve seen way too many girls jumping from guy to guy (even me) just to not be single, even if they are setting for guys that aren’t good for them. Don’t sell yourself short like that, you deserve what you really want, even if it takes longer to find than those around you.
Try dressing nice for yourself, even if you aren’t going to go anywhere. Give yourself that confidence boost you deserve, and whatever you do, never doubt your worth just because a guy didn’t appreciate it.

I don’t feel like I need to compete with girls anymore.
I used to. I used to see someone looking pretty and I felt like I had to do my best to look just as good or more. But now I’m so calm about it now. I understand that everyone is pretty in a different way. I’ll never be big busted or tall or anything, but I honestly think I’m extremely pretty, and I love the self confidence that brings me. I feel amazing when I dress nice, I love the attention.
But when I see another girl dressed nice I smile now because I know they’re feeling the same way. It’s not about looking better than anyone anymore, it’s about feeling pretty myself. I’m still a human and have those “I’m prettier than them thoughts” but it’s not so conscious anymore. I guess all it took was some maturing.

I feel like today’s society is all focused on things we hate about people instead of things we like.
People don’t like it if you post too many photos of yourself. People don’t like it if you’re happy all the time. People don’t like it if you’re sad all the time. People don’t like it if you post your opinions too much but seem to have no problem being defensive when you say you don’t care about their opinion. People have an issue with those who are smarter, prettier, wealthier, more social, get invited to more parties, get great grades, or pretty much anything they don’t have. People don’t like people that think differently than you. People don’t like when you’re too outspoken. People don’t like when you’re too passive. People just don’t like people anymore.
What happened to what you like about people? What happened to people being happy for their friends being happy, people being glad someone has confidence, people being glad that life is going well for someone? It seems like people don’t want others to be happy if their not happy. Where is that compassion of wanting the best for everyone?
It’s too easy to hate on people now with all the technology. Would you tell people half the things in person that you do online?

I love it when you're here but I'm better when you're gone.

Don’t beat yourself up for not knowing the answers. You don’t always have to know who you are. You don’t have to have the big picture, or know where you’re heading. Sometimes, it’s enough just to know what you’re going to do next.

I'm about to graduate with my BS in Psychology and then I'm headed off to grad school. I do have fibromyalgia, a chronic pain and nerve disorder, so I relate to invisible illnesses. I love learning new things, fandoms, and quotes. I'm here if anyone needs to talk, and I never stop looking for the positive in life.
