Nowadays, we put so much emphasis on our looks. We focus so much on the outside that we forget to really focus on what matters. I was inspired by a list that I found online of "Things I Would Rather Be Called Instead Of Pretty," so I made my own version. Here is a list of things that I would rather be than "pretty."
1. Captivating
I want one glance at me to completely steal your breath away.
2. Magnetic
I want people to feel drawn to me. I want something to be different about me that people recognize at first glance.
3. Raw
I want to be real. Vulnerable. Completely, genuinely myself.
4. Intoxicating
..and I want you addicted.
5. Humble
I want to recognize my abilities, but not be boastful or proud.
6. Exemplary
I want to stand out.
7. Loyal
I want to pride myself on sticking out the storm.
8. Fascinating
I want you to be hanging on every word I say.
9. Empathetic
I want to be able to feel your pain, so that I can help you heal.
10. Vivacious
I want to be the life of the party.
11. Reckless
I want to be crazy. Thrilling. Unpredictable. I want to keep you guessing, keep your heart pounding, and your blood rushing.
12. Philanthropic
I want to give.
13. Philosophical
I want to ask the tough questions that get you thinking about the purpose of our beating hearts.

22. Pierian
From the way I move to the way I speak, I want to be poetic.
23. Esoteric
Do not mistake this. I do not want to be misunderstood. But rather I'd like to keep my circle small and close. I don't want to be an average, everyday person.
24. Authentic
I don't want anyone to ever question whether I am being genuine or telling the truth.
25. Novaturient
