Validation

Here's a question for my few bizarre readers: What is beauty?  There are stories and magazines and hundreds of different definitions of beauty!  Well...all of them involve something along the lines of "aesthetically pleasing"  So who are we to judge if a girl wants to glue the legs of a fly to her eyelids?  I think it's horrificly awesome.

Yes, this is the actual picture.

Anyway

To all of the girls out there (this is actually for ONE girl I know who has serious self-esteem problems...) How many times a day do you think women classified as "beautiful" hear compliments from someone of the opposite gender?  Well...just as frequently as those who do not label themselves as beautiful.  

My friend, why are you complaining about the fact that you've gained weight (it's college, your foot is injured, you're wearing a gimp boot) and that no guys are calling you beautiful (even though you hear it from your chicky-friends constantly), so therefore you're not beautiful and you want to justify this feeling by becoming bulimic?  Please, friend, do not go down that road.  And listen to me when I tell you this...

I hear males say I'm pretty, beautiful, attractive, etc. JUST AS MUCH AS YOU.  

Why do you need validation for your beauty? Waiting for someone to tell you how beautiful you are takes years.  Men generally do not have the balls to confess their feelings to you.  Just like girls don't have the tits to confess to the guy they are attracted to (or to tell a guy who's attracted to them to lay off...)

Listen when I say this: Validation of beauty is NOTHING if you have no confidence.  The more confident you are, the more you will enjoy yourself, and even more...those guys might just grace you with the word you crave. (But honestly, it's just a word, and waiting for it isn't going to get you anywhere)
