- Someone: can I use your computer for a second
- Me: what do you need I'll look it up for you
“Who the hell names hurricanes and why do they give them the least threatening names? If you see on the news that hurricane Erin is blowing through, you’re like ‘Pfft. Erin? I can take that slut’. But if it’s like hurricane Dicksmasher is coming, you pack up and leave.”
Something About Tumblr That’s Been Bugging Me
I know that many people in real life don’t see themselves as pretty. They think they’re ugly, gross, terrible. But in reality, they’re so pretty. I mean, it jut seems like so many people look down on themselves, and, granted, it’s normal for people to think lowly of themselves every once in awhile. But I see these blogs where it’s all the time.
I’m not saying to shut up and stop sulking or anything of the sorts, but it honestly makes me sad to think that people actually think that low of themselves. When I was going through puberty and the holy joys of becoming a grown up (which I’m not really even), I always had self esteem issues. My hair was a wreck, I was short, skinny, flat chested, acne encrusted (still am, arrrgh) and all sorts of things. I didn’t even try to make myself look better because I didn’t think I could. I hated feeling that way about myself.
So I began to do something.
Everyday, I would come home and look at myself in the mirror. Everything that was wrong with me stuck out like a sore thumb and my brain screamed to me, look at this ugly thing, or how about that ugly thing? But our conscious works much in the way a person may. Someone can tell you you’re ugly a hundred times and most of the time, we can ignore them and not be affected by it to an extent. But the moment someone tells you you’re pretty, it changes your whole mood and outlook on that day. So I ignored those feelings and thoughts and I found one thing I liked about myself.
For me, it was my eyes. And no, I’m not being into myself or stuck up. It is okay to think you look pretty. So everyday, I’d tell myself you have pretty eyes. And no matter how ugly I thought the rest of me looked, all I remembered for the day was that I had pretty eyes, and it worked.
So to all of you guys on Tumblr out there who think you’re hideous and terrible and just ghastly, for starters, you’re not. Nobody is ugly. Ever. I want you to go look in the mirror and find one good thing about yourself. Whether it be your eyes, your nose, your ears, your skin, whatever, find it. And don’t go, oh, but there’s nothing beautiful about me because that is bullshit. There is. You have to tell yourself that.
“Everything has it’s beauty, but not everyone sees it.” -Confucious
Everything is beautiful, but only some people see it.
I… I haven’t heard something so wise in a long time… Thanks, Janei. Even though I don’t have that low of self-esteem, this was still a great inspiration to me.
