Don't Be Beautiful


They keep saying that beautiful is something a girl needs to be.

But honestly? Forget that.Don't be beautiful.

Be angry, be intelligent, be witty, be klutzy, be interesting,

be funny, be adventerous, be crazy, be talented-

there are an eternity of other things

to be other than beautiful.

And what is beautiful anyway

but a set of letters strung together to make a word?

Be your own definition of amazing, always.

That is so much more important than anything beautiful, ever.
