Stop Being So Ugly

No make-up can hide this

What really defines "ugly?" With age, I don't think that it's just looks anymore. Of course everyone sits on their own level of attractiveness, but the quirks or qualities of someone’s personality can really enhance or detract from their physical beauty. I've never been able to click with people with boring personalities, the lack of being able to converse and take a joke. No matter how actually good looking you are, if your attitude sucks, your face might as well, too.

So what really makes a person "ugly?"

Cockiness vs. Confidence. I know we're all familiar with this one. There's really nothing attractive about someone that trounces around like they can have and get whatever they want. Confidence is being comfortable in your own skin and not feeling threatened by others, which, on the other hand, is totally attractive.

Open mindedness for me is a biggie. There isn't someone more ugly than someone who braces their opinions onto others. Someone that believes their opinion is always right and everyone else's opinions don't matter. Not being able to walk a mile in someone else's shoes or trying to understand where someone else is coming from pretty much makes you a close minded freak. Good luck continuing through life that way.

Negative Nancys -- I'm sure we all know a few. Some people just have a way of sucking all the positivity out of any situation. They are unhappy or angry about everything. Negative energy spreads like wildfire, and that certainly can make the most attractive people, well unattractive.

No one likes a Nosey Nancy either, people that somehow always manage to stick their nose into places where it doesn't belong. There's a difference in being interested and being nosey. We'd all be better off if we minded our own business.

Then, there are the narcissists, egotistical and conceited. Always desperate for the spotlight and sucking all the attention towards them. Monopolizing conversations and having the utmost controlling personalities. Certainly not pretty. Although there is healthy vanity, those with a good head on their shoulders, knowing the good and bad things about themselves, in which they are willing to work on.

And finally, selfishness. People who demonstrate a complete disregard for others. Never interested in anyone else's agenda or well being and certainly never thinking of the affects their actions will bring to others. These are the people that don't think twice about bringing other's down to hoist themselves up. Try being a little more selfless, talking less and listening more. People with honest interest are great listeners, curious an genuinely interested in others.

I believe the most beautiful people are the ones that are open and have the ability to bring the best out in others. The ones filled with humor and with a deep love for life. Embracing everyone around them with positivity and with interest to listen. No matter what body type or face shape, hair color, eye color or even what clothes they wear. A beautiful mind and soul mean far more than a beautiful face.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
