You deserve more in life because you are beautiful, agree?
You deserve better; you deserve more. Have you heard this before? I have listened to it my entire life. ¨You deserve more¨.
This statement irks me, I don’t particularly appreciate being told what to do, and then this statement goes even more profound to questioning the choices I have made in my life, usually from outside and someone who only catches glimpses.
Then I go farther; I think, who are you to say what I deserve or don’t deserve? Who are you to tell me what to do or how to live my life? My entire life, people have always put their projections on what they think I deserve or even want out of life for absolutely no reason at all besides how I look.
The comment I received recently went like this, ¨you are a beautiful woman; you deserve more than THAT.¨ What the hell does that mean?
Have you judged my entire life based on my appearance? I mean, isn’t this just the society we live in today? Everything is superficial and based on looks.
This statement has always pissed me off; I have heard it my entire life. Maybe ask me if I am happy, content, peaceful, loved, and have joy in my life. Maybe, stop focusing on the outside shell. That is not who I am; that is…
