"Look at the stars, look at how they shine for you."
I know it's cliche but
no one feels special anymore.
Raise your hand if you've ever been ignored,
pushed back into the inner, most darkest most dustiest part of your mind,
so that you could fit in and laugh along with people
who're completely oblivious to the pandemonium inside your mind

Everyday I spend at least an hour,
maybe even more
to practice the poker face I'd put for the day
and everyday I crumble as soon as my door closes again.
Don't,
don't be afraid to laugh like a complete idiot
with a group of people who would laugh with you,
never at you.
Don't change the way you look
just because someone said
something that makes you feel bad about yourself.

Appearance does not define beauty,
on the contrary, it amplifies the unhealthy need for perfection.
Why aim for something so stoic, when you could enjoy life as it is?
Sit down and enjoy the breeze,
open your eyes and sink your teeth into the wonders of nature.

You'd be surprised the the boundless beauty of it.
