I’m not sure what it means anymore.

Some people say you should look inside more than outside. Not to judge a book by its cover.

At some point, I realized that there are people I could say were “rotten” from the inside. But it might be prejudicial from my side, on the grounds that I have had a bad experience with those people.

I can’t say I give a damn what happened to them since then, but how fast a person you love/like turns out to be the worst human?

It’s astonishing.

I wanna talk about cultivating inner beauty

Here are things you can do to try and be BEAUTIFUL from the inside if you’re not already

  1. Smile more (not sure that actually helps to be more beautiful from the inside, but carrying positivity around won’t hurt)
  2. here comes…. look for the positive (there HAS to be smth))
  3. do smth that makes you happy (that is pretty obvious, the happier you are, the better energy you spread)
  4. help ppl (doesn’t have to be smth major, baby steps, just talking to your grandma who missed you a lot would do it; share her loneliness)
  5. forgive (tough one, I know it forwards and backwards. There’s one big truth to it: at some point the pain they caused subsides. It really does)
  6. find something to laugh about (again — positivity, good vibes)
  7. keep your mind open, try not to judge (cause you can’t really walk in someone else’s shoes, not literally. EMPATHY!)
  8. use the world and yourself to spread positivity and kindness
  9. always remember: you’re probably worth more than you’re given or let to believe you deserve
  10. don’t stop to question everything and wonder about this BRAVE NEW WORLD ;)
