Back then I always wanted to be
like all the other girls.

The ones with cool clothes, messy hair
and perfect make up.

The ones that read thousands of books,
were smart and confident.

The ones that seemed like they don't care what others say and that made the best of what they've had.

But at one point I realized that
all I have is me. And that it's okay
to not be like the other girls.

And I do my best to get a better version of
myself everyday.

Because that's happiness.

To be truly yourself
without the need to compare yourself to others.
