Beautiful People
"Everyone’s beautiful in their own way. Looks don’t matter. It's what’s in your heart"... I’ve heard it time and time again. Oh how cliché. The idea is that we shouldn’t worry about what’s on the outside because the inside is what matters. Oh how I wish to truly believe that, but the world tells me something different. The images of beautiful people all over the covers of magazines, their gorgeous children, their flawless homes, and all of their money and glory. I can not help but to think it is all a lie when I am told, "You are beautiful no matter what", and then I smile and nod as I look into my mother’s eyes while simultaneously swallowing deeply, as I try to hold back tears.
