I reciently read a post on my friend leahs blog 'stereotypicality' and something hit home. I don't think i have ever got through a day, or know any girl who could truthfully say they have, without wishing something about myself was different. I wish i was thinner. I wish i was tanned. I wish i had more friends. I wish i was more confident. I wish my hair was longer, and blonder. Additionally, as leah pointed out, i cannot go out without makeup, to change my skin complextion, to highlight my cheakbones, to make my lips fuller and my eyelashes longer, and this makes me fake. I think there are very few people who really know who i am, stripped back. I am also a hypocrite when it comes to this matter, i reciently posted about people and their profile pictures, when i activley look through new tagged pictures of me, seeing if theres one i like.
Why do most girls want to change themselves? I can look across a crowd of people and instantly pick out a group of girls who i would rather look like. What makes this more pointless is that the girls i would pick, probably could do the same across the same crowd, but pick other girls. What i'm trying to say, is that i am going to recognise that most people really aren't that judgemental, and have their own insecurities to worry about.
I know that i am not the uglyiest person in the world (feel free to dissagree), and i know that i am not 'hot'. I wish i could just be comfortable in my skin.
