I feel as though I'm just mindlessly making my way through life, that I have no purpose some days and that everything that I do, I can't control. I want to do things in my life. I want to experience things I haven't before, be with people that matter to me and live the life that I want to, but sometimes I feel as though it's all just dreams that I can't accomplish. On top of that, so many things just annoy me to a new extent. I hate how in this world people just get things handed to them and no one has the guts to actually tell the truth. They don't want to say if you are ugly or if your work is the worst piece of writing they've seen in their life, and the thing that all of this comes down to is who you know and what they think about you. I don't know how many times I've scrolled through Instagram and seen a selfie of a girl showing everything off that she possibly could, even if she hasn't got it. I look at the comments and see them to be flooded with adoring emojis and overloaded with complements. Whenever I continue to scroll, I see a modest selfie of a beautiful girl who simply smiles. No make up, no filters and no vulgarity. I look at the comments. Empty. How is it that our society has come to the point where we do not appreciate things that are truly beautiful, but rather only things that we have been taught to like or appreciate. The only reason that girl had no comments and a lower amount of likes is that society has been teaching us the wrong things. They don't accept her as she is because she doesn't have a pretty face to match her pretty mind. And that my friends, is called injustice.
