Living a Life is a be big challenge for everyone in every single day but I don't why some people are so lucky to get everything Wealth , beauty , place of honour, great career. Here I'm ! I have nothing just the honour and I'm glad to have it because a lot of people nowadays don't have it . If I have to choose one thing I will choose the beauty . Don't ask me why because I strongly believe that the beauty is key able to open all the doors. The beauty makes a rich beast falling love with you and living in his big castle and you will love him back because of his castle or his personality, no matter what! But at least you will have someone loving you. If you are not pretty enough, people and especially men make you feel that you are the beast . They won't talk to you. If you come closer,they will run faster. They won't give you chance , in real life and social media acting life they don't care about the appearance but all what it's matter for them . And I'm really wondering why ?.
I was laying on my bed, carrying my laptop. I was concentrated and stressed too. If someone saw me he might thinks that I'm working hard on some work but the truth is I was chatting on Tinder app. This kind of dating apps made me feel uncomfortable because everybody there judged you by your appearance. 70% person of them swiped lift ,15% of them are perverts and 5% depended on luck and faith . Suddenly; I get one message from someone. " his name is Edward. He is 24years. He is an engineer". I was excited to talk to him he sent me " Hey ! What's up ?". I replied " I'm good and you ?". He replied "I'm fine Thank you. Can you introduce yourself?". I replied "My name is Emily smith and I'm 17 years old and I am student in high school, and you ?". He replied "My name is Edward Jones and I'm 24 years old and I'm engineer in Los Angeles". I sent "Nice to meet you , Edward!". I was so happy to talk to him till he sent me " Send me nude pictures of you !" . I was sure If I'm waiting for that 5% I will stay in my place for ever
All the time when I felt bad , I went to the kitchen and I made sweets and cakes. I'm in love with desert. I felt enjoyment . I had a wonderful memories especially when I was with my big sister Lara . When we were making cakes , I used to make the cakes , and she was great in decorating . Why not and she has b.a degree in arts and right know she is working in declaration company. We are perfect duo . She is my best friend and my dearest sister. I can remember that I was so sad when she get married. I wasn't expecting the truth that she will leave me alone . I'm not alone actually I have little sister her name is Lauren , she is 16 year old and she is studying in high school too , she is blonde with grey eyes and she is tall . She is so popular around the boys in high school and she is cheerleader . Honestly ; students always keep saying"Oh ! I didn't know that you are sisters! Hannah is pretty than you !".
My mom talked to me and said " Lara and John will be arrive in hour ". I beamed and said "Yes ; she told me that they will have a dinner with us ". She said " That's sounds pretty good! I missed her ". I replied "Me too !". I tasted my cupcakes and they were so sweet and soft . I said to my mom " Taste one and tell me what do you think?". She eat one and said "Yummy! It is so sweet!". I kissed her cheek and replied "Merci Maman!" She replied " de rien ma chère ". My mom is French, her name is Jacline . My dad is American. When my parents first met , they were in Paris, my dad can't speak French and my mom can't speak English. I don't know how they fall in love and get married without talking and understanding each other. I'm going to decorate this cupcake with black chocolate. Lara preferred cupcakes with black chocolate and I'm doing this for her .
We were sitting in the dining table me and my parents ,Hannah, Lara and her husband. My mom made lasagna in dinner. I was sitting next to Hannah is younger than me and she was talking about the high school , she was confused about what she will study in university. I told her " If I were in your place I won't think too much ". She frowned and asked "Why ?".I answered " First of all ;you are studying now in second year and second; I'm the who should worry more right now . Third ;You are cheerleader , you have many advantages, if you work hard you will have scholarships to study in University. Me and Lara weren't lucky and talented as you ! I'm sure you will be accepted in any University do you want !". My Dad said "Just believe in yourself and don't give up , Okay my dear ". She nodded , her reactions were too cute and adorable. My mom asked " Why you didn't come to church in this morning? ". Lara said " We were so busy today !". She replied " oh ! I was just worried " . Lara said " I'm so sorry,Mom". Steve said "This Lasagna is so yummy!". My mom replied "Thank you ,Son !". Then he looked at my direction and said "Are you still single now?" . I replied with a smile " Yeah! ". He said to me " If you want I can send you to a plan date with one of my cousins ?" . Jesus Crist ! What he is doing now ?. I smiled at him and said "Thank you! But I don't want to!". My Mom interpreted and said to me "Why not ?". I looked at him and said " I don't want too .". Steve smirked and said to me " Are you sure?". I replied " yes , I want to concentrate about my studies . So Thank you!". I met his cousins in many occasions. Really they were so mean and bad like somebody I used to know . I don't want to judge, anyway it is not my busines.
We were sitting in the couch and eating the cupcakes with coffee and milk. Then went to my room with Lara and she said to me "I'm so sorry ,about what Steve said to you ". I hold her hands and said " You don't have to apologise to me. Your husband wants all the best to me ". She said to me "Don't be worry Emily ! One day the real love will found you !". I giggled and replied "I'm waiting now ! But first I need to love myself little more because I have no love towards me ". She nodded and said "You have to love yourself no matter what people said ". I looked at her in the sadness on my eyes "It's easy to say that because everyone here admiring your beauty! Do you still remember when you were in high school,you were so popular dear and you get many confessions from guys . Everyone in school calling me a nerd with big glasses " . I didn't notice that I was crying. Lara was emotional and tears in her eyes .I continued " Do you know what's the funny ? Every night I prayed to be pretty but every morning I woke up I see no change". She hugged and said "Don't think too much honey! You are really Amazing and pretty no matter what do you say or think ! I wish that one day you can see that by yourself ".
