In a world of beauty and appearence importance - ive aged dramatically, should i give up?

Please do not give up. The most important type of beauty is inner beauty. That sounds cliche, but it's so true. And you sound like you have it. You sound like you're realistic, honest and somewhat eager (for the fact that you posted this on here). Sometimes you have to ask yourself, "what is the meaning of okay?" You're not dying; and that means that essentially, you're okay. Do it! Start from scratch, but don't forget your past. Grow from it. Looking old might get you down, but come on, really? It's not everything. As long as you're "okay" you have something to work on, work with. Concentrate on what it really is that you want to accomplish, start with small goals. Land an achievable job, start a savings, help other people...that is one my favorite ways to feel good about myself. Just please don't give up. Being good-looking is not all it's cracked up to be. A person is SO much more than how the world sees them with their eyes. You have things to say. Go out, look at the world, find something (even something as small as a squirrel) and concentrate on how beautiful it is. Look at the big picture of things, you're okay and everything is going to be okay. Tomorrow will come, so make what you do today be something that will make tomorrow better. Start now! But please don't give up. If you ever need to talk, email me at lett.tori@yahoo.com.
