Remember When...?


Remember when it was beautiful to be a size 10? Now Cosmopolitan tells us that "thick" doesn't please men. Remember when it was attractive if girls ate a lot? Now we eat in private for fear that we'll get caught. Remember when it was okay to be chubby and small? Now society tells us we must be thin waisted and small. Remember when us women were always respected? Now we're used for sex, and then we're neglected. Remember when magazines were about crafts and cars? Now we read Cosmo and change who we are. Why has society changed us this much? Why do we need makeup to be used as our crutch? Society's changed us, and not for the best. Why can't we see that we're all beautiful and blessed? Dear girls, you're beautiful, don't listen to what they say. Believe me when I tell you, you're perfect in every single way.
