Does Beauty come in a Package?

9:03 PM

It's kind of sad how I don't get any compliments unless my hair is fake.

First of all, I do love my hair the way it is and think it's really pretty, nor do I ignore/hate the comments that have been given.

Also, I do understand that my natural hair is still transitioning, which makes it look really awkward for a(long)while.

I just wish my natural hair was considered beautiful also.

I have to color/elongate my nails, cover my face (with make-up), and use factory hair to be considered beautiful.

It is annoying. It is HIGHLY annoying.

To contradict myself, it is fun to do that stuff that I listed above. Well, sometimes. I just wish I didn't feel like I have to do it all the time to get attention and I got quite a bit of attention, when I dressed up for Prom (oh yea, BTW all of this was for Prom last weekend).

ugggh.....life.

Girl, you totally get compliments even when you are not dressed up! Anyways, you are beautiful for who you are and you don't need compliments from others to confirm that. Maybe they noticed because it was something different - not just because you didn't look like you normally do. You know what I mean?
I think everyone feels that way - and it is something that is very hard to overcome just because this society is so materialistic. You just have to know that the only people that matter are the ones that think you are beautiful. And don't think that people don't notice how beautiful you are, even if they don't voice it - they're just so transfixed by your beauty that no words can form. =D
You are beautiful Ariel! (ALL the time!!!)

I know how you feel, it like i could go out with no make up on and people would ask if i had been up all night or feeling sick based on the way i looked but people who are wearing a ton of make up are always considered beautiful when it isn't then its their make up people find lovely. WHy can we all love people for looking how they do instead of making everyone conform to a certain standard.
