You Don't Look Like An Instagram Model, And That Makes You PERFECTLY Beautiful

Stop comparing your beauty to the beauty of others. We're all allowed to be beautiful in our own way.

You Don't Look Like An Instagram Model, And That Makes You PERFECTLY Beautiful

We've all done it before. As we are looking through someone's Instagram page we can't help but look at their pictures and compare our own "flawed" bodies to their "perfect" bodies.

Just because you see pictures of models on social media who look damn near perfect, that does not take away from your own beauty.

They are models for a reason. Their looks gave them a career.

They probably have an ideal body type and have a symmetrical face with great hair. I'm sure they are the type of people who can wake up in the morning and look just as perfect with messy hair and no makeup on.

We don't have to think any less of ourselves just because we don't look like the females we see as we are scrolling through posts. We all weren't born with perfect skin or perfect teeth.

We all can't afford plastic surgery done to fix any "flaws" we think we may have.

Some of us can't take any good photos but that doesn't mean you are not pretty. Some people are just not photogenic and that is something that no one ever considers. Being un-photogenic just means that you don't take good pictures.

Once again, that does not give you the right to call yourself ugly. Most people's pictures of themselves have filters on them or are photoshopped anyway, so don't think that everyone else in the world is photogenic besides you.

Having acne doesn't make you ugly. Having messy hair doesn't make you ugly.

Being too short or too tall doesn't make you ugly. Having a large forehead or nose doesn't make you ugly. Having cellulite doesn't make you ugly.

Wouldn't it be boring if we all looked the same? If we all had the same hair color and length, the same height, same body measurements, same wardrobe, same face, then there would be no differences among us and that's an issue.

What makes you beautiful, are the things that make you stand out.

If we all looked the same, then life would be pretty boring. Our differences make us unique and make us who we are.

Beauty is not something we measure by looking at a chart and determining if we fit in the "beautiful" or "ugly" category. It's not black and white.

Having long hair doesn't make you beautiful. Having perfect teeth doesn't make you beautiful. Having long legs doesn't make you beautiful. Having a perfect size nose doesn't make you beautiful.

Then what makes a person beautiful? A beautiful person is someone with a good heart and a beautiful soul. Inner beauty will always be more important than physical beauty. Why? Because anyone can become "pretty."

Anyone can get surgery to fix their nose. Anyone can get braces to straighten their teeth. Anyone can change their bodies to look more like those models if they truly wanted to do so.

But even if they did all those things, that's not what makes a person beautiful.

Be confident in what you look like and never let the beauty of others bring you down. There's plenty of room in the world for all of us to be beautiful.

So I challenge you the next time you are looking at someone else's photos on social media and you find them to be "perfect," remind yourself of all of your beautiful qualities inside and out.

Maybe someone looks at your photos and thinks that you're perfect.

All beauty can't be captured in a photograph so don't ever feel that you are less than beautiful.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
