Its Really the Little Things that Matter the Most

I go online
reading about millions and thousands
of teens talking about
how they are
nerds
freaks
ugly
fat
weirdos
insecure
quiet
pained

and then i read about how they want to be like those really
popular
cool
awesome
beautiful
thin
people

but if all these "people"
want to become
"those" people

how come i don't see
"those" people
in
real life?

The author's comments:
after going on wattpad and reading through teenink, i saw a repition of people, mainly girls, wanting to be part of the other side, when maybe...the "other" side is really part of our group.

THERE HAS BEEN A MISCONCEPTION THAT THE INSECURE, PAINED, WORRIED, UGLY, UNPOPULAR ARE PART OF THE MINORITY.

WE AREN'T.

BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE AND NO, YOU ARE NOT UGLY OR FAT OR ANY OF THOSE MATERIALISTIC AND UN REALISTIC PEOPLE AT ALL.

THERE IS NO ONE ON THIS PLANET WHO HASN'T BEEN HURT, LOVED, OR HAS CRIED.

(I really should have made this and article)
