There’s so much more to life than being “pretty.” There’s so much more than spending hours of your time styling your hair, putting on makeup, or tanning. If that’s what makes you happy, if feeling pretty is what keeps you going, then by all means continue to do what you can. But I beg of you to think about more important things. There are books to be read, people to be met, and things to learn. Being beautiful is only temporary. We all get older, we all become less attractive, it happens to the best, and worst of us. So spend your younger years enjoying life, rather than wasting hours trying to look like what society wants you to look like. Please.

there's a reason why people say beauty is only SKIN deep. there are more to life than outer beauty :)
