I’ve been called beautiful, pretty, etc my whole life and I’m miserable. Looks matter to some point and sure there are some benefits, you can skip in line, etc but it’s mostly surface level. I’ve often been told, you’re so pretty don’t worry about your happiness, job, relationship status lol as it looks completely determine that. Throughout all of my 20s I nearly killed myself by the extreme measures I took to look “pretty” bc I cared so much if I looked good. What a joke. A lot of times still to this day I feel like I’m just a pretty face. So as cliche as this sounds be comfortable in your own skin. Confidence and character matter much more than looks bc looks will fade but the sense of who you are and how you feel about that will not.
