Forever feeling not good enough.

Have you ever felt like you're not good enough? So do other people.

On Tumblr:
I look on Tumblr and you see these absolutely stunning girls who have like 293923842 notes. You see these skinny girls kissing their boyfriends on a bed or in a field and think, why cant that be me? They stand there in their underwear in front of millions of people and don't care. I cant even stand in front of my own mirror in my under wear because I hate looking at myself. 
E.g:


On TV shows: 

On tv shows when you never get the fat girl who ends up happy. It's always the skinny, bubbly, happy girl who gets the guy and ends up being happy. People are always focusing on girls (and guys) who aren't societies view of beautiful as being ugly. How is that going to try and change the next generation's view? I get that fat doesn't sell but take Adele; Adele is an amazing singer who has this incredible talent. What do the media and the public focus on? Her weight. 
People make jokes like, 'Adele comes out of a buffet restaurant singing, 'WE COULD'VE HAD IT ALLLL'' but Adele is a strong, independent woman who has her own views on the subject. 'If they offered me £10million, I’d be like f*** off. Besides if I was going to be the face of anything it should be the face of full-fat coke' This was Adele on being asked if she would be the face of Diet Coke. 
Me personally... I dont want to be stick thin and a horrible person. I would rather be curvy and be happy. This is why Adele is such an inspiration to not only me but a thousand other women.

In general life:

I go to a college where there are hundreds of beautiful girls and I feel so inadequate around them; not just the girls but the guys as well. Every guy that I have liked has turned around to me and told me he likes *insert name here* which will end up to be a on point with fashion, skinny, funny and all around perfect girl. It's so hard to be an individual when society makes it so hard to fit in but I guess that's how the world works. 

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.

Twitter Trending Topic: What I Find Attractive.

What 5 things do I find most attractive about a guy?


1) Sense of humor. 
For a majority of my life I've been sad but laughing with various different people has helped me through. Whether it's that awkward conversation when you're in a queue and someone makes you laugh or it's the laugh that you have in lessons that actually make your stomach hurt.

I have been in two serious relationships and both of them had a sense of humor. I cant ever imagine being with someone who didn't have a sense of humor. Whats the point? Laughing is one of the best medicines you can have. 

2) A nice smile.
Smiling is one of THE most beautiful things about life. I've always noticed that a simple smile can make a person's day. It's a nonverbal way of communicating with someone. For example: I was sat on the train a couple of weeks ago and there was this really attractive guy  who seemed kind of sad when he got on the train. I turned to look at him and caught his eye, smiled at him and he smiled back. Maybe that didn't help his mood but he may have realized that not everything is bad. 

I really don't mind if a guy has braces or he hates his smile. I know that a smile can completely change a mood. Smiles are beautiful. 

3)  Caring. 
Now, Im not asking for someone who texts me every 5 minutes asking: "Are you okay? Where are you? Do you need me to call you? Please tell me you're not sad." because that would just be incredibly annoying but I think that a simple text asking: "Are you okay? :)" is such a simple but lovely touch. It shows that they're thinking about you but not being borderline obsessive.

In addition, caring is also something that I have noticed a huge amount since I have been at college. If I'm sad in psychology then Harry will ask, 'Are you okay?'. It's kinda nice to know that I have those sorts of people in my life already. 

4)  Romantic. 
I have NEVER been with a romantic guy, ever. The most romantic I ever had was them telling me that one day we would move out of this country, to New York and we would laugh at the people who looked like ants as we towered above them in our apartment. I want a guy to say to me, 'how about we go out for dinner?' but of course, I'd pay for my fair share.
