We go through life oblivious to the world around us. We run through it never taking a break. To pause and notice what is right in front of us. I tell myself it is because we are humans. That is only an excuse. We make excuses for a lot of things. It is all a disappointment.
I may be only sixteen years old, but age does not matter. I have gone through a lot. I do not wish to be pitied. I wish only to be heard. The way people live their lives shock me. The judgement they face and the judgement they give. What goes around comes around. They think it is alright to go through life judging others and thinking they are not at fault. They have another thing coming. Everybody has flaws. Everybody does something wrong.
When I was growing up as a little girl, my parents use to tell me I was the most beautiful little girl around. As I grew older, I soon realized this was a lie. I do not meet today’s “standards” of beauty. I am not a toothpick. I do not have long hair. I am not girly nor do I wear dresses. I am the complete opposite. I am overweight. I love my hair being short and I use to even dye it all kinds of different colors. But I had to many people tell me it made me look ugly. So I stopped dying my hair. I wear jeans and t-shirts all the time. I hate putting make up on and I hate doing my hair. I brush it and go on about my day. I am the opposite of beauty and I am alright with that.
People today need to realize that they will never get anywhere in life by judging others. They need to be judging themselves.
