The Illusion Of Beauty


*Click*

From the moment the camera shutter clicks, we wonder how others will see us. Media only shows these perfect aliens they call human beings. Aliens that we compare ourselves to. Constantly thinking we aren't good enough.

*Click*

Applying filters thinking were fooling others when were only fooling ourselves. Forgetting just how beautiful each one of us are. Each one of us a perfect one of a kind. 

*Click*

Real beauty comes in the most natural form, it comes innocently. Every person is beautiful, because we were created to be. We were born without makeup on our face for a reason, because we don't need it.
