Love the skin your in because God made you that way. Whether your darker lighter or just white. As long as you are happy in your own skin, and you are healthy, then you are perfect. Being dark skinned doesn't make your pretty and just because your red doesn't mean your "bad" either. Your outside appearance doesn't define beautiful. Beauty is on the inside its your character. The prettiest face can have the ugliest character. You should be confident in yourself and carry yourself like the beautiful person are. When you have confidence in yourself and who you are as a person you can pick and choose who deserves to be in your life. You don’t need anyone’s approval, and you don’t feel bad about it. Having confidence is what makes you a beautiful person because no one can break you.
