I Wonder What It's Like To Be Pretty

Because I don't think I know.

I Wonder What It's Like To Be Pretty

I wonder what it's like to be pretty.

Like I really wonder what it's like to be pretty. What it would be like to wake up in the morning looking good instead of looking like you got hit by a bus. What it would be like to walk to class without getting anxious when someone looks at you because you think "Oh, there must be food or something on my face."

I wonder what it's like to go shopping and just have everything go your way. To be able to pull off anything, just because you're so damn pretty that you can just do that. I wonder what it's like to get ready to go out. That must be, like, incredible. I want to know how it feels to get ready to go somewhere feeling 100% confident in how you look.

I wonder what it's like to be the kind of pretty that can post a cute selfie on social media, and have my phone blow up with notifications over it. More importantly, I wonder what it's like to be able to take a cute photo of yourself easily. Or what it feels like to turn heads when you enter a room.

I wonder what it is like not deal with rejection the way I do. How does it feel to like someone and know your looks won't be an issue because let me tell you, it is a real knock down on the totem pole confidence when it does happen.

I wonder if people feel bad for me when they see me out with my friends. I want to know if they think of me as the designated ugly friend. Sometimes I even think that about myself.

Most importantly, I wonder if anyone sees me and thinks "I wonder what it's like to be pretty."

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.
