Can you see the beauty?

Why can't  people look in the mirror and see beauty in themselves? Why do they pick at their flaws?Why is society putting such a strong hold on perfection when there is none? The idea of perfection will always be unattainable. It is not real. As much as the human race tries to search they will never find it. Every flaw in you makes you beautiful and unique and importantly it makes you you. As much as we don't want to believe that. As much as we want to pick at everything that we find wrong in ourselves. The things that make us beautiful are things that are wrong. It hurts to think that right now there is someone hurting right at this moment. They found more things wrong with themselves and they just want to forget about it by causing pain towards themselves. There are so many who are my age. young. they have so much of a life ahead of them and their starting off with sadness. and nobody deserves that. everybody deserves to love  themselves. Maybe it's something from their past or something from their present or maybe something that is going to happen in the future, but it needs to stop somehow. i don't how. but i hope it does. they deserve to be able to look in the mirror and see beauty. see the way their eyes sparkle when they smile and the cute faces they make when they're trying not to laugh. i know it's hard. everyone has self doubt. i have self doubt just as much as the person next to me.but we've learned to handle that self doubt with help and love and the people around us. you just need to realize that there are people around you who love you and want you to be happy. we take them for granted. i don't think we realize how much they care until it's to late. i mean it's hard to see what's beautiful in yourself until you meet someone who sees it in you.but at the same time many people are clouded with sadness and can't seem to see it. I know it feels like your stuck in a body  that you have been taught to hate with voices in your head. i know you feel alone. i know that you just want to feel better but you can't. i know that every time you look and try to see yourself something outside of you is telling you that it is all wrong.Maybe it's a number. Maybe it's the way you look or your hair sticks up, but remember that you're beautiful. Every  pound that you weigh is a pound of your happiness and kindness and beauty. Every hair that's out of place is the carelessness in you and adventure. Every wrinkle and crease near your eye shows the amount of time you smiled and laughed. Those are the things you should look at when you look at the mirror. I know it's hard and you don't want to but take that time to see the beauty in you and that will be worth something.
