Sometimes I wish I felt pretty

Your feelings are totally valid, and I think a lot of people can relate to what you're going through. It's hard when self-confidence wavers, especially when we see beauty in others and wish we could feel the same about ourselves. But just because you're feeling low doesn't mean you're not beautiful—inside and out. Confidence isn't a straight line; it's a journey, and some days are harder than others.

It’s not about sounding like a "pick me" at all. Wanting to feel seen and appreciated is human. And the truth is, how do you know people don't look at you and think you're pretty? Even if you don’t see it in yourself all the time. Sometimes we’re our own harshest critics, and that makes it hard to see what others see in us.

Give yourself permission to appreciate your own unique beauty. Whether it's your smile, your laugh, your kindness—there's something about you that lights up the people around you. And that is so much more than "average."

Please know that 💛

Listen, Building self-confidence takes time and practice. Surround yourself with supportive people who uplift you, and engage in activities that highlight your strengths. Reflect on your accomplishments, no matter how small, and celebrate your uniqueness. By validating your feelings and focusing on your intrinsic value, you can cultivate a more positive self-image. Trust that you are enough just as you are, and your emotions are an essential part of your human experience.
