05. Outsides

Everyone notices the physical features of a person. Let me tell you a story, a cycle that happens in everyday life to everybody.

For some, girls are lucky. They have smooth skin, slim figure, pretty smile, pretty eyes, and pretty legs. They're adored by everyone and people want to be like her.

There aren't many pretty girls out there who have great personalities. Most girls tend to bully and judge others, thinking they're better than everyone else, and thinking the world revolves around them.

I'm not one of those girls. I have pimples, kinda thin, decent eyes, and a few crooked fingers. There are pretty girls at the school I go to, but most of them, as I mentioned above, are just bullies. A pretty face is destroyed when you have an ugly heart.

Everyday I'm judged for the simplest things. I don't like to think about what they judge me for, because then I just become an unhappy, hopeless person. I always remember the wonderful friends and family I have, who love and care for me no matter what.

I can sing, but it's not enough for them. I have problems, but they don't pity me. But I don't need their approval to do or feel anything, because it's my life to control, not theirs.

Raised as a Catholic, I was taught to be humble, forgive, follow God, and help everyone no matter how bad they treat you. It just comes natural to me to help those in need, even my enemies.

No matter how many times I'm judged or made fun of for my looks or for being Catholic, I just remember that they don't know the story of my life, so everything they say about me is false.

Just cause you're not as skinny as a pole and as pretty as a model, doesn't mean you don't have the skill to become everything you wanna be. Outsides don't matter. Just be yourself, and you'll attract the right crowd.
