Flawless Without Being Clawless


I own my shit.

So what if I have a huge ass pimple on my forehead

so what if I'm not a size double or quadruple zero

so what if my natural hair is frizzy like a poodle?

Owning that and being yoursef is what makes us flawless.

Flaws become part of your perfection, if just you accept them.

 

Be you and be confident.

Let's not make that harder than it seems

You think your imperfections

are what makes you less in society.

NOT IF YOU MAKE IT SEEM LIKE IT'S THE SHIT.

 

"Your eyelashes are too long"

Your reply goes

"yeah it's for me to blink a lot and make you fly away"

Humour helps with getting through our tormenting society.

Be confident, and laugh your worries away.

 

Own your flaws,

soon you'll see your flaws are just apart of who you are

it's what makes you, you.

You want to be flawless?

Three words. Be

positive, confident, fearless.
