I Don’t Feel Beautiful

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at SLU chapter.

I don’t feel beautiful.

I do my best to wear what I want and not care what others think;

I always experiment with makeup and new products coming out; and make sure to put my own flair in every new look.

Yet, this still doesn’t help me feel beautiful.

I sometimes feel bad about not feeling beautiful;

Because I know I am beautiful

I look in the mirror everyday and tell myself I deserve to feel beautiful

Yet I don’t.

My oh so amazing friends compliment me in so many ways and I always feel grateful, but I can never fully believe in the words of others and allow myself to feel beautiful.

But right now I think that’s okay

Right here I am admitting I don’t feel beautiful

Because I do have hope that someday that will change;

One day I will honestly and confidently say:

I feel beautiful.
