Tell someone they are beautiful

Here I shall tell (part) of a story. I think it is sad.

There was once a girl, she didn't know whether or not she was beautiful. So, she started looking in her fashion magazines, and saw that these women were more beautiful then her. She then started questioning her already small body. Although she never hurt herself, she still did things she shouldn't have to, for stupid reasons.

Although she watches what she eats, and works out, she still doesn't know what to think of her body. She doesn't know if she is beautiful.

Months go by, and she finally determines what she doesn't like about her body. She will pick and point out things she hates. She would try to change them, but usually, they'd just get worse. She'd stress out so much, it started affecting other parts of her life.

Then--- she stopped. She learned how stupid she was. She thought she was beautiful. She complimented what she loved. She tried to ignore what she hated.

But one more thing happened. A complete stranger, told her a few things he likes about the way she looks. She showed herself--- entirely, to this man. He saw all of her. He loved her body. He told her how beautiful she was. She felt so beautiful. She started loving parts of her body she never loved before. All because one person told her she was beautiful. Although she had found herself beautiful before, she has felt beautiful more then ever today.

The sad thing is what she had to do to get this told to her. She showed a few people things she never thought she would. Complete strangers.

The funny thing is that this man who changed her perspective was the biggest pervert and jerk ever, But, he still made her feel beautiful.

This is a true story of a friend of mine. I just wanted to point out how sad it is that we can't find perfect beauty in ourselves, we look to others.

Today I want you to tell someone they are beautiful. Or something about them is beautiful. This is preferred, if you pick something out singularly.
For example:
"Your eyes are gorgeous"

Don't lie--- tell it from the heart, but find someone, and tell them. Anyone. It won't hurt you at all.

Life Advice: DO IT.
