"I want to be thinner"
"I want to be more beautiful"
"I want to look much different than what I am now"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Translation: I want to be loved, I want to be held in another person mind, I want them to care about me, I wish I felt appreciated, I have to be desirable because if I'm desirable then I'm wanted, if I'm wanted then I have purpose. If I have purpose, my existence makes sense.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We all want meaning in the world and we all want to find our great sense of purpose. But our looks are just one part of that, I'm not denying your right to feel beautiful but I'm saying thats not enough for you to be human. You have thoughts, ones you're not even aware of, you have quirks, hopes, dreams, fears, unresolved heartache and I want to know about all of those because thats what drives you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What drives you is not the desire to become more beautiful, I want to know why you didn't feel beautiful in the first place, I want to know when the ache started for you, I want to know the love you received and the love you didn't. To me, this connection, whats beyond the physical is much more beautiful and inspiring then having you look a certain way.

You are so complex, be in awe of that.
