What makes someone attractive?

It's attractive when someone has a goal. When someone doesn't believe in stopping something short. Inspiring people are attractive because you admire their drive, their will and you check yourself in the mirror and make sure that that same drive is alive in you and if it isn't, then you have work to do.

It all has to start somewhere. Usually, deciding what it is that you want to do. And it doesn't have to be one thing. It doesn't have to be a huge project or a pipe dream, it can start small. But the point is to find that starting point and go. It all counts and no matter how big or small it's life changing.

And that's attractive.

It's attractive when a person can face adversity and tragedy and be able to cry. Be able to let people know that what they've gone through was indeed painful but did not define them. It doesn't make them who they are, it catapults them forward to better times.

Whoever said tucking your feelings in was the best solution, was the thing that kept you strong is lying. And it's only a matter of time before that person crumbles. Strength is owning up to who you are, what you stand for. Strength is acknowledging the fact that we all our human and have emotions. And sometimes we can't control them, and why should we? The ones who can show their emotion, learn and keep it moving.

That's attractive.

There's no need to be someone we're not. No need to shine less so someone else can have the spotlight. There's room for everyone. There's enough ambition out there for everyone to work for what they want.

And that's what I want. I want everything. And I'm gonna get it.
