True self, confidence, and attraction
Aside from superficial observations, confidence plays a significant part in how attractive a person is. When someone is being/doing something that they truly enjoy – whether it’s a girl playing Magic or a guy exploring the culinary arts – they are more attractive because they are letting you see the real them. And if an activity isn’t the “norm” for their gender, they may be even more confident because they know they are being genuine, despite the fact that it’s not the norm… ergo, they are more attractive.
False expressions of confidence aren't as successful because who or what is being attracted isn't a natural connection. (This doesn't mean that natural connections never fade, but in those cases, it's caused by something else.)
Being "attractive" doesn't mean being "sexually" attractive... it defines everything you attract: people, relationships, experiences, information... everything. But attracting what naturally aligns with you depends on whether you are living your true self.

Love Letter to Earth

You are beautiful.
You are the air that I breathe
You are always there for me
I have been unaware of how I affect you.
You breathe the dreams of all life.
You are the ground beneath my feet
You have supported me through thick and thin
I have taken for granted your nourishment.
We are connected on the deepest level whether I choose to acknowledge it or not.
You are the water that I drink
You have never given up on me
I will be aware the little things you do, because if you stop, I will die.
You are my everything.
I am deeply sorry for what has happened in the past, so I will do what I can to learn and change what happens now. I hope it's not too late for you to heal. Most of all, I hope I can speak for all humanity.
Love,
Me
