Enough.

Standard beauty ideals are failing us.

People demand

Curvy but skinny.

Tall but petite.

Modest but sexy.

Pure but experienced.

Natural but modified.

We can't have it all,

But we are judged when we don't.

Differences are criticized,

When they should be celebrated.

We are trying to figure out how to fit in this beauty mold,

But we don't realize it's just a fantasy.

Society manipulates our minds into thinking we aren't

Thin enough,

Tall enough,

Sexy enough,

Good enough.

But that's enough!

You are enough.

Do not apologize for your body,

For it's not what the world sees that matters.

It's what you see.

Just allow yourself to love yourself.
