1. “You’re not pretty.”
“You’re not clever.”
“You’re not interesting.”
“You’re not talented.”

2. Words hurt.

3. People don’t always think.

4. They don’t consider the
consequences.

5. They don’t picture you
insecure.

6. Crying over the person in the
mirror.

7. But it happens.

8. Every word,

9. every hurtful comment,

10. leads you to believe you’re not
beautiful.

11. But this is not true!

12. Think about it…

13. Why would you ever tell someone
who’s not beautiful…

14. … they’re not beautiful?

15. Surely there’s more reason to
destroy a threat?

16. “They don’t need to be better
than you…they just need to
make you think they are.”

17. Don’t feel too harsh towards
the people who put you down,

18. …they’re probably just
insecure.

19. You don’t need to be. 

20. Take their put-downs as
compliments!

21. Maybe they admire you. :3

22. And even if they’re
stunning, popular, confident…

23. Remember you have
something far more
precious…

24. Something far more valued.

25. Something which truly makes you
beautiful.

26. At least you’re kind.

27. At least you’re not the one
who puts others down.

28. At least you’re trustworthy.

29. At least you’re understanding,
because you know how pain feels.

30. And people might hurt you with
their words…

31. …but at least you’re not the cause
of the pain.

32. And you can get that amazing
warm feeling because you know
you've made someone's day just
that little bit better, and made
them smile. And that feeling is
amazing and worth more than any
of those things you wish you were
.

33. You ARE pretty.
You ARE clever.
You ARE interesting.
You ARE talented.

34. …but none of this makes you
beautiful.

35. I think you are because you go
round making people's days,
you're able to cheer people up,
you're able to make them smile
and laugh and they can trust you,
because I know you're that kind of
person, that kind of person we
need more of in this world.

36. And that’s what makes you
beautiful  x
