Our world seems to be so obsessed with beauty. But I don’t think beauty is actually what it is. It’s this idea of perfection. Having perfect skin, having a perfectly fit body, having perfect hair, having perfect features. All of those things are pleasing to the eye but perfection in itself is not beauty. Someone who has all those things can be very beautiful, but someone who doesn’t can be equally as beautiful. What’s real is what’s beautiful. What’s kind is what’s beautiful. You can meet someone who does not fit society’s idea of beauty but once you get to know them and hear their struggles and their triumphs, once you hear their ideas and how they see life, they become so beautiful to you. Society as a whole values perfection, but us as individuals value honesty and authenticity. We get so caught up thinking that everyone wants someone who looks perfect but actually that’s not the case. We all want someone real that we can connect with. We want someone that we can love who will love us back. Don’t try to show people your face and your hair and all the “perfect” things about you. Show them your mind and your character and your values. As humans, we have a need to connect with people; when we isolate ourselves is when we feel the worst. Everyone has flaws. Everyone is insecure about something. And people that make fun of you for your flaws are just trying to hide the shame they have about their own flaws. We don’t need to put up this perfect front. We don’t need to stress about the way we look cause one day we will all be wrinkly and old and if the only thing that makes you feel good about yourself is the way you look, how are you gonna feel when you don’t have those looks anymore? That is something I struggle with. A lot of times I feel like the only thing I can be confident in is the way I look and that is so dangerous. We don’t need to place so much value on the mere skin we’re living in. There is so much more to a person. This is just my perspective, hopefully it will make you think.

When you see yourself in the mirror first thing in the morning.
a few quick reminders:
- that thing you did that was kind of embarrassing and weird, everyone else forgot about that already
- you look fine today, if you can’t notice something on your face standing 6 feet from a mirror then nobody else will either
- if something is out of your…
