Perfect


I like that you’ve wiped out the beauty standard in your mind.
Perhaps it’s merely cultural; but I see that as brave.
It took me the majority of my life to see myself as half-decent, and I still have my doubts.
But you are radiant-
You are a brilliant being, lovely and sweet.
I love how you don’t think this supposedly radical mindset is brave, it’s simply your choice.
Such a glorious thought.
Perfect: as are you, as you are.
You inspire me- I’ve never known someone in person like this, but I’ve marveled others from afar in this courage.
This society, perhaps unlike yours, values conformity quite a lot.
I do not, and I am glad to find a kindred soul in the matter.
I’m far behind, but I’m working on it.
You-
You are just perfect, dear!
