Why Your Appearance Shouldn’t Matter To Others

Why Your Appearance Shouldn’t Matter To Others
LOVE THIS PIC

“Does this color look good on me?” “Do these jeans make me look fat?” “I’m not wearing too much makeup, right?” These are questions that I personally have asked myself, and probably many others have as well. To be honest, I used to care SO much about my appearance. I used to care so much about the brand that I was wearing, how I looked in certain clothes, and how others may have portrayed me. Now, I could care less.

When it comes down to it, who are you really trying to impress? The answer: you shouldn’t be wanting to impress anyone other than yourself. You shouldn’t take other peoples opinions into consideration, because the only persons opinion that matters is your own. So go out there and be who you want to be. You want to wear jeans and a sweater? GO AHEAD. You want to make sure that your makeup is on point and looking flawless? YES YOU GOT IT. You want to wear a crop top and short-shorts? GO FOR IT. You want to wear nothing at all? I mean maybe you should at least wear a little something in the case of public indecency coming up. But, you get the point.

So next time you are about to ask yourself a question that doesn’t involve your own opinion, take a step back and realize that you are your own independent human who can wear or be whatever the hell you want to. I know it may be hard these days because most people just want to fit in and go with the norm. But don’t be afraid to be your own person and do what makes you happy!

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
