I look to much. I hear to much. I analyze things that don't need analyzing, and some people think that's bad and a waist of time. But to me that's important. All my life I've been told that everything about me was wrong. I've been told I was fat, I was stupid, I was crazy, I was usless, I was talentless, I was short, I was... wrong. But I didn't care, that makes me who I am. I don't care what people say. I don't care if people hate me... Fine... Your loss.
I was told to write twenty five ways that I am beautiful and because of all the things that I was told that was or wasn't, I couldn't think of anything. I couldn't think of one thing that made me special. It scares me. It scares me that I couldn't think of anything that makes me a beautiful, unique individual. I couldn't do it.
Then it hit me. With out realizing it, I was letting the people around me shape how I thought, I was letting people push me in directions I didn't want to go. I let then push me so far I almost when over the edge of the cliff that I was balancing on... so I said I wasn't gonna have that, so I pushed back, I pushed back so much that I wasn't anywhere near the cliff. I pushed so much that I was in the forest looking for something to show me who I am. And I found it.

I am, and I can be beautiful, even when the world disagrees.
I am hopeful that others can be as happy with themselves as I am with myself.
