"don't judge a book by it's cover"

wellll, sometimes a cover's all you have to judge a book by. i mean, seriously, who has the time to research a book? sometimes you just pick a book off the shelf, read the synopsis and decide to read it or not. and sometimes when the publisher's a bitch and doesn't tell you the synopsis, you gotta make a judgement call on whether it appears interesting enough or not. and some books never catch your eye.

you know why? because looks do matter. no matter how many ugly people tell you that looks don't matter, they do.

you know why they matter? because...why won't they? looks are more than just your face, it's the clothes you wear, it's how you stand, it's how you walk, it's your facial expressions, it's your voice. everything matters, so don't even say "not everyone is born pretty" you know what? i'm starting to think that NO ONE is born pretty, it's just a matter of who's best at making you THINK they are pretty.

lemme say one word: swagger. some people have it, some people don't. however, everyone is capable of obtaining it. some people know how to get it better than others but that doesn't mean that you can't teach yourself to get some (get some!).

so what point am i trying to get to? ummm...how about just...don't not care about your looks? don't go around thinking "whatever, i don't care about what people think of me, they don't know me" well, yeah, they don't know you and if you keep that mindset NO ONE'S going to know you and you know what you're going to become? a FREAK. a lonely, lonely FREAK. and when you start hating the world because they don't "get" you, maybe the problem isn't with how the world's reading you, it's how you're presenting yourself.
