Girls...

... We are more than just our looks. What does it matter if you have a pretty face, nice hair and beautiful eyes when your head is full of air. I see girls my age worrying about their next Instagram post, where to buy the perfect dress, and gossiping about the latest relationship scandal. Apparently looks its all people seem to care about, though I might be wrong, when you come to think about it, all you see and hear about is pretty people. Unless its some video of a couple getting it on after the club, or a girl cheating on her fiancé in Cancun. The rest is so superficial it makes me sad to think that our generation is just a bunch of spoiled brats spending our parents money at the club.


Apparently in my city the amount of "popularity" you have is directly based on your looks. I'm curious to see where this people will be when were older. Will they just be living off of what their parents built for them? Who am I to say? But looks fade people, stop worrying so much about the amount of likes and followers you have. Because one day it wont matter how fast you get into the club, it won't matter who has the best table, the best car, the best clothes. One day people will actually care about what you have to say, and when you realize you can't really think for yourself, when you don't even know whats going on in the world, when you finally see theres more important things in life than just followers, you'll regret not having cared. Because apparently as long as something doesn't affect me, I don't give a damn about it and I don't want to know anything about it. Who cares about saving the animals? Who cares about global warming? Who care about healthcare? Sharing a photo, giving a like is not saving anyone. Raising awareness won't help if people don't take action. But how can it if people don't listen, if they don't have the drive to research and inform themselves about what its actually going on in the world, and not only this but taking it upon themeless to make a change, to make an active change in their lifestyle that will contribute more to society than to their Instagram feed.

But thats all I have to say. I think my point is, that the next time someone approaches you with a topic that might seem boring or "lame" or "too sad" not only listen to them but actually pay attention to what their saying. And instead of retaliating with an argument that justifies your actions, take a breath, do your research and form an educated opinion. Because we girls are worth more than just our looks, we are worthy of being heard.
