My Worth

Is flawless being perfect?

Or is it striving for greatness because you're worth it?

Flawless is knowing your flaws, and knowing that those flaws make YOU,

Flawless isn't about waking up and getting pretty in front of a mirror,

Flawless isn't about 100 likes on Instagram,

Flawless isn't about having the nicest clothes or the prettiest face,

Ask yourself what makes you flawless?

Sacrificing my summer and going to the Dominican Republic to help build and restore a community center is what makes me flawless,

Raising money and passing out daily necessities is what makes me flawless,

Spending a month in Africa as an English teacher is what makes me flawless,

Using my leisure time to better the lives of people I don't even know is what makes me flawless,

Waking up and deciding I'm going to help at my local soup kitchen is what makes me flawless,

Then when I'm done, helping out at my local senior citizen center is what makes me flawless,

Traveling to Japan, Peru, Turkey, Africa, California, Florida, and New York is what makes me flawless,

Starting my own fashion line from the ground up is what makes me flawless,

Putting my life on the line to check things off my bucket list like skydiving and mountain climbing is what makes me flawless,

And doing all of this before the age of 22 is what makes me flawless,

Not giving up when things got tough is what makes me flawless,

Challenging myself to do things I never thought I'd do is what makes me flawless,

Flawless is not about being perfect,

It's about helping others and making them feel worth it,

So ask yourself, what makes you flawless!?
