You have become beautiful

[beautifuldream7]

A friend of mine just posted a Livejournal entry about beauty, and how she doesn't feel truly beautiful much of the time. I thought I'd share my reply, since I was going to post an entry about this topic tonight anyway.

Oddly enough, I was just thinking about this tonight. I took a bubble bath and thought about how I don't really feel beautiful

dude, you have an AMAZING vocab!

And yes, you are endearing and quirky and a little weird, and that's why we love you!

"there are loads of things that I'm pretty sure every functioning adult on the continent knows how to do that I have trouble with. It all adds up to make me look negatively on myself, and it certainly doesn't make me feel beautiful." Totally understand that... and I think you're on the right track. Let us know how it goes!

oh, and you should TOTALLY write poetry again!

I can't say much more than Thank you for sharing this - your WORDS are Beautiful!

Was browsing people with "ramona flowers" in their interests and found your journal.

I feel exactly the same. Some days I look at pretty girls and wish I looked the same way. I wonder why does my boyfriend like me. Other days, however, I see myself in the mirror and like it. I receive compliments from male friends and it makes me feel pretty.

I used to be kinda tomboy, too. I spent my teenage years wearing t-shirts and sneakers. Now I am 21 and in the past 1-2 years I started wearing dresses and skirts often and feel pretty in them. Not the very girly type of clothes, but punkish ones, for example checkered dress and combat boots or Converse.
