I don't know about you but, I want to be more than just pretty. I don't want people to just look at me and think I'm pretty. I don't want to be told I'm pretty all the time. I'd rather be so much more than just pretty.

1. Intelligent

I'd rather have the brains than the beauty any day. I'd rather be able to tell you about all the body parts, what they do, why we need them to function than be told hey you're good looking. I'd rather bury in head in a book than stand at a party with a bunch of guys drooling over random girls. I'd rather do my homework than brag about how I didn't do my homework and got drunk last night. I'd rather be intelligent than pretty.

2. Kind

I'd rather hand someone a dime if they desperately needed it than be told hey you're cute. I'd rather buy someone a hot drink on a cold day because they look like they need it rather than being told that I'm pretty. Kindness is something we should strive to be especially to each other, yet we don't see it very often anymore. I'd rather be kind than pretty.

3. Respected

I'd rather feel more comfortable walking around by myself in crowds of people without being called pretty. I'd rather people not feel the need to cat call me randomly and make me feel like I am being attacked because I am a girl walking down the street alone. I'd rather feel safe and be respected than be called pretty.

4. Funny

I'd rather make someone laugh so hard they start crying than be called pretty. I'd rather sit with someone laughing so hard till we both start to cry than for them to think I am just pretty. I'd rather make jokes about stupid things rather than them think I am just a pretty little girl. I'd rather be funny than pretty.

5. Independent

I'd rather not depend on everyone around me for the answers than be pretty. I'd rather go out and find the answers on my own. I'd rather stand alone than with the others if I don't agree with them. I'd rather be independent than pretty.

6. Honest

I'd rather tell someone the truth than be called pretty. I'd rather not lie to someone because I don't want to hurt them. Even the little lies matter. I'd rather be honest than pretty.

7. Determined

8. Creative

I'd rather be able to create things and explore all the created things in this world than be pretty. I'd rather create articles, pictures, and paintings than be pretty. I'd rather use the resources made for us and create my own things with them than be pretty. I'd rather be creative than pretty.

9. Open Minded

I'd rather listen to someone's opinion and put myself in their shoes than be pretty. I'd rather take what others say and actually think about it than be pretty. I'd rather people be heard than be pretty. I'd rather be open minded than be pretty.

10. Humble

I'd rather not brag about myself and would rather help someone than be pretty. I'd rather listen to them than talk about myself. I'd rather be humble than be pretty.

Ten things I'd rather be than pretty right in front of your eyes. I'd rather be much more than just these ten things but, this is what came to mind first. Life is so much more than the looks. Life is about the person you make yourself out to be. I'd rather be much more than pretty.
