Acting desperate for attention is not attractive. Not respecting yourself for attention is not attractive.
Insecure people want attention, secure people demand respect.
Insecure people brag and show off, secure people are humble.
Insecure people PRETEND to be perfect, secure people embrace their flaws.
There's beauty in confidence, but confidence isn't about showing off what you've got,
its more about being secure in what you lack.

Let someone want you instead of acting like you need them all the time.
Let someone meet your standards instead of lowering yours to meet theirs.
Don't allow your loneliness to make you think that every smile someone gives you means they want you.
Stop making yourself so available.
There's nothing special about being easy access, so stop advertising yourself as a wholesale when your value should be something that can't be bought.

I never understood why people determine who they're friends with based on looks.
It's stupid and shallow.
Tall, short, fat, skinny, long hair, short hair, blonde, brunette, blue eyes, green eyes, it shouldn't matter.
None of it matters.

I don't think parents understand how hard it is to be a teenager.
School, sports, work, chores...and then we've got society.
Society teaching us to act or look a certain way,
we have to be this certain size, have this hairstyle,
have these types of clothes, hang out with these certain people.
And if we don't do all of these things, that we're not good enough.
It's not easy growing up in a world like this.
Parents say they understand, but they don't.
They never will.

You kept me in ******* for so long.
And It was weird, because I hated you,
but at the same time, I didn't want to let you go.
But now I realize, you aren't worth it anymore.
I know Im better off without you.
I'm free.

Forget what anyone says.
You are beautiful,
You are loved,
You are wanted.

I wish I could tell you everything I was feeling.
I wish I could let you know I get butterflies whenever I think about you.
That I love every little detail about you.
Your freckles, your crooked smile, your laugh, the way you hug me when you know I've had a bad day,
I wish I could tell you all these things.
But I cant, because your with her now.
She gets to see your freckles and crooked smile.
She gets to hear your laugh, and feel your hugs.
