Beneath this Mask

Be Beautiful

Aim to be a better person, not for anyone else, but for yourself alone. Have a good lifestyle, do exercise, wear a good brand of make-up, dress up, be yourself, be beautiful, not because they want you to but because you want to. Do it for yourself, just like not giving your 100% to that someone you’re in a relationship with. Why? So you could stand on your own when the time comes that they need to leave you. So you can be pretty good with yourself without their criticism. So you can stand confidently without you being dependent on their compliments. You don’t need their sugar-coated words just to feel good about yourself because you alone are perfect.

Improving yourself because of someone is useless. It’s like being dependent on that person. It’s like giving him/her the authority to hurt you in the process. Once they left you, once they hurt you, once they saw your flaws, once they shattered you into pieces, insecurities will creep in, fill in those holes that they made in you. Am I not enough for them? Am I that ugly that he/she needed to cheat on me?  And eventually, you will need to go back to basic. You need to constantly give your shoulder a tap that everything will be okay, that you don’t need them and their opinions, but deep down you know you’re wounded. You’re wounded because you let them. You’re wounded because you always depend on their words.

No one can make us feel better but ourselves and the willingness of our mind to be better.

Sometimes we need to be selfish. Sometimes we need to think first of ourselves to save us from any damages, from pain. Because at the end of the day, you know better yourself than anyone else. We are the knight-in-shining armor of ourselves.

See, people, even the ones we trust the most, can hurt us.

Don’t let anyone treat you like a shit even you’re the most obnoxious person on earth.

Be beautiful on your own way, be yourself.
