How to realize that i'm beautiful
How I did it: I always saw beauty as a waste of time. I never took the time to try to make myself look better or really to do anything. I always thought personality mattered much more-still do. However, I realized that recognizing my beauty has helped me be more confident. Really for me, I've always been told that I'm pretty by my guy friends and they are super protective of me because of that apparently. I constantly catch people looking at me and always thought it was because they didn't approve of me or something.
For me, at college I really had time to think about things like my past with guy friends and the creepy people who look at me. Plus, I've had time to "get to know myself" better as corny as that sounds. I've grown to think that my smile is beautiful and the way my eyes light up and crinkle when I am happy or laughing (which is most of the time). I still don't really care about the superficial sort of beauty but I have my traits that I like about myself. That's good enough for me.
