Why is it seen as a bad thing when a woman believes that she is beautiful? My entire life I knew I was pretty. I never felt like I was beautiful. When I express to you that I am confident in my looks you say you're done with cocky girls. Why is this a bad thing? Why is this not celebrated ? It took me only a trauma event, an eating disorder and a few bad break ups to feel this way. And I am happy. And I am beautiful.
