Perfection
November 20, 2014
I may not have a thigh gap
or blonde hair
or blue eyes
I may not be a size 0
or have a tiny waist
or a perfect figure
I may not have lots of money
or be surrounded by friends
or have any friends at all
But when I look in the mirror
all I see
is perfection
Because the definition of perfection
is me.

I feel the the beauty standards for females of today are skewed by what media shows us. Women of color, women of size, are all just as beautiful as the women we see in common tv ads and should be proud of it, despite what Vogue tells us. Love yourself like no one else will.
