Girls don’t like guys who are doormats. Especially pretty girls, because there’s no novelty to it. Guys are hitting on them all the time… And the women smile because it’s easier than telling them to go fuck themselves. And less dangerous because if a man rejects a woman, she goes and cried for a few days. If a woman rejects a man, he can rape and kill her.

The world stops for you when you're pretty. That's why women spend billions on crap for their faves. Their whole life, they're the center of attention. People want to be around them just because they're attractive. Their jokes are funnier. Their lives are better. And then suddenly, they get bags under their eyes or they put on a little weight and no one cares about them anymore. They cease to exist.

Don't hesitate or allow yourself to make excuses. Just get out and do it. Just get out and do it. You will be very, very glad that you did.

You’ve changed is an insult often intended to discourage you. Ignore it. This is your growth. Adapting and refining yourself are all necessary parts of the process.

You’ve Changed - Beau Taplin
