Who here feels like, everyone says, "you can get any guy you want", while I'm over here, with no guy, and every other girl in the world is ten times prettier than I am, I am just, yep, life is good, s good XD BUT
A thing to lift your spirits: If you ever feel ugly, lonely, depressed, or just sad, remember, someone loves you, you are loved, no matter what. When you feel ugly like I have, and like most other people in the world, you aren't, you shouldn't compare yourself to today's standards of beauty, because beauty will fade, just like seasons. You may be beautiful and young, then you will grow old, and your external beauty will be gone. When you are young, don't focus on the outer beauty, which is passing, but focus and cultivate your inner beauty, which will last, and continue to grow, as you get older. So don't lose your spark, and when you feel alone, depressed, or lost, just remember, someone loves you, and you are BEAUTIFUL, no matter what others say :)) I feel ugly often, but I remind myself that I AM beautiful, and I don't have to compare myself to the world's standards of beauty ;)

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
