It hurts to watch a video of a beautiful celebrity around my age and see they have everything that's eluded me. Perfect skin, great body, a fun, lively, sweet, and determined personality, success and wealth and intelligent skills, people who like spending time with them, people who like working for them, being able to use their beauty to make money... and they're not in the least a shallow person. They're out there making important and relevant changes, helping people who need it.
They have best friends who've seemingly always been there. They can jump on an airplane or helicopter and go wherever they want. They spend their year jetsetting all over the globe. They wear all the lovely fashion they want...
And if that's not all, they're also newly married with someone they call their best friend whom they had dated for years beforehand.
Why do some people get everything, and I'm here sad and alone, skin issues, muscular issues, too skinny to be attractive or desirable, a strange personality, and only maybe one friend left. The person I loved for years doesn't want me (and they're a hot mess themselves), I want to pay my debts, buy a vehicle and move but I'm stuck. Don't even have money for adequate food and basic necessities, much less for having fun.
The Universe is so unfair.

Hello,
I sense a lot of pain in your message. I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. I have a lot of advice I want to share to help you grow.
First, stop comparing yourself to others. You're unique, and that's what makes you beautiful. These celebrities look great, because they get all the cheat codes (personal trainers, dieticians, etc).
Secondly, the United States and Hollywood have fixed ideas of what they considered to be "attractive" so they only pick these people. It's disgusting and untrue. Everyone has flaws. You don't see the insecurities of these celebrities or their genuine struggles. They are protrayed to be "perfect" so they can stay popular to make money. It's an unnecessary cycle. Next, you are absolutely beautiful. Skin and muscular problems, skinny and all. You're real. These celebrities have very little sense of idenity. They aren't allowed to do what you and I get to do, be ourselves. They have to portray an image to remain popular to make money. You're so beautiful inside AND outside because of this. You're a diamond, unique and stunning! Do not let anything stop you thinking that.
I understand how it feels to be financially stuck. My mother forced me to learn about Dave Ramsey, a Christian man (I'm atheist) who used the Bible to go from being homeless to a multi-millionare. Use community resources to help you. Go to a food bank, apply for food stamps. There's no shame in this, because it's the strength inside of you to know you want to become more financially stable. Begin a budget sheet (bills, gas, necessary items, and no "wants") if you haven't. Whatever money is remaining is your savings. Pick up an extra job only for savings. Rover.com, the Wag app, Uber, Lyft, instacart are all great options. Or begin a side hustle like cleaning houses or yard work.
I can sense your strength. You got this ma'am! 👩💼
ReplyHello, thank you for sharing your story. This world is unfair in so many ways. Some people seem to have it so easy. I do want to remind you that just because everything this celebrity shows is good doesn’t mean that their life is perfect. Tons of famous people struggle with addiction and depression. They might only advertise the good parts of their lives on social media, covering up the hurt and problems. Everyone has their path with struggles on it. Believe me, I understand the ‘not having perfect skin’ part! You are a unique and beautiful human being. I hope you can hit your stride and be happier. Don’t forget to appreciate the beautiful things about yourself! Life is beautiful. I hope you can gain confidence. Don’t give up. I believe in you!
