just tired

tired of being told about "girls like me"

how they struggle with confidence and self-love and all those thing

tired of being told that i need to be that girl

that i need to not like what i see in the mirror but i do

that i need to wear dresses and love makeup but i don't

that i need to wish for a perfect husband and have crushes on boys and idolize celebrities but i don't

that i need to be a "real girl"

as if what i am already isn't real enough

that i can't wear what i want or do what i want because none of it is or ever will be "girly"

enough

but i know those are lies

and that no matter how hard they try they can't make me be less me

i know that i'm fine the way i am

i'm not perfect

but no one is

i'm not the perfect little girl they wish i was but i would'nt change for anything

because i love myself

and anyone who doesn't

can deal
