are you content?
there are times in your life where you look at the girl next to, or photos of the people you idealize and wonder why you werent born to be as extraordinarily beautiful or nearly as brilliant as them. and you watch them in awe of their every movement and gesture. that quiet and gentle boldness. then one day you, subconsciosly, are living as though you were a person such as that and when you realize it, you are more content with yourself than ever. not because you have achieved being some one you are not, because of that inner peace and delight in ones self that is only the difference between you and the other person the entire time. we are all beautiful, and we all have our down falls where we dont love ourselves like we should, and for some, its most the time. There is a time and place for realization, then a time and place to evny that of others, then finally a time and place to become your true self and be finally content.
