I decided that i have so many deep thoughts at school. I don't know why, but i just do. and today i realized  that most people try to be and look perfect. 

whether it's the perfect family,
perfect personality, 
or even the perfect body. 

I mean, when you look at the people around you at school, you'll see lots of people act like their trying to be something their not. 
Example: I always see people saying things that they wouldn't normally say just to look cool in front of everyone else.
or i'll see someone that is super shy/doesn't talk at all and maybe not the most popular person in the bunch.

These people. ↑

these people aren't comfortable in their own skin.
Why would someone say something just to make themselves look cool? 
When in reality, no one really cares.
Or the super shy kid. Why don't they talk or not really outgoing? 
I'm almost positive that they are really not that quiet around friends or family. 
I just think that their afraid of what other people will think.
I feel like their afraid to be themselves around other people. 

and usually people will like you for you! 
well, at least i like it when people feel comfortable around me. 

So why should anyone care about if you have the perfect family even though you KNOW that you're obviously not.

There's no such thing as perfection. 

so why do we strive so much to be perfect when theirs no such thing?

people love you just the way you are and their not going to judge you for it.

and when people do judge, they obviously have nothing else to do with their lives or their just not confident in themselves. 

I've figured out that when you love yourself first. 
first of all, you will be happy. and you REALLY have to except yourself for who you are in order for it to work
second, everyone around you will want to be around you because your comfortable with yourself.
and third, you can actually start loving people more. 
You might think i'm crazy or something, but its actually true. You'll grow to have an appreciation for more things. 

and besides, life is to short to worry what other people will think. It's just not worth it! 

Anyways, these are seriously my thoughts at school and i'm pretty sure i have hundreds of them every day! Sorry for getting way deep, but

happy monday!
