Dear Society,


I listen to you.

I listen to your perception of women.

I listen to the rules and limitations set on us.

I listen to all the people in the world that say we're nothing more than games and prizes to be won.

I listen to all the conversations about being easy, about being a size perfect, about not being perfect enough.

I listen...

 

And because I listen...

I'm afraid of what society thinks of me.

I'm afraid to act different from the "norm."

I'm afraid to have small boobs and a big butt.

I'm afraid to eat pizza out of emotion.

I'm afraid to be myself.

I'm afraid...

 

But because I'm afraid...

I do it anyway..

I eat way to much and to often.

I burp a lot.

I sing loudly and out of tune.

I dance in the rain.

I'm two sizes to small one day and two sizes to big the next.

I'm not perfect...

I'm just FLAWed LESS.

 

Sincerely,

Imperfection is beauty.
