As a girl, many thoughts run through our mind on a daily basis
The main thing that runs through a girls mind is how she looks
Her appearance is everything to her.
How she dresses
If her make ups good
Is her hair okay?
Does she look beautiful?

We girls hear advice all the time, to tell ourselves that we look beautiful
& we do tell ourselves that!
But is that enough?
We go on social medias like Instagram or Twitter & see girls that we think are prettier than us & think, "Why can't I look like that?"
We see the attention they get from a lot of people, all the likes on their pictures, all the comments like: "Your beautiful", "Hit me up", "What's your number?"
So then we get to thinking again, saying to ourselves "Am I ugly?"

We're told that we shouldn't judge ourselves because god made us the way we are
But does that change the fact that sometimes, deep down inside, we still judge ourselves?
No, it doesn't.

We girls tend to judge other girls to try & make ourselves feel better
But it only makes us feel better for a short amount of time.
Many "thick" girls think all skinny girls are thin because they made themselves that way or starved themselves.
But that's not always the case.
Many skinny girls have high metabolisms, which causes a person to not gain much weight.
So while a thick girl wishes she was thin, there's also a thin girl who wishes she was thick.
The solution to this problem, is to be happy for who you are & stop wishing you were someone else!

ALL girls wish they had something another girl has.
It could be physical features, a guy, clothes, money, anything.
But even if we actually did get the "luxurious" things we want, we'd still want more.
We're never satisfied.
& that's what makes us "A Girl".
