Society's Image


Society's image: 

Skinny.

Tall. 

Long hair.

Big eyes.

Fancy clothes.

Big house.

Perfect family.

 

A toothpick is skinny, not a woman. 

A skyscraper is tall, not a woman.

A fairy tale princess has long hair, not a woman.

Bugs have big eyes, not a woman.

Royalty has fancy clothes, not a woman.

Millionares have big houses, not a woman.

Television shows have perfect families, not a woman. 

 

Why compare ourselves to unrealistic ideals? 

We are beautiful, no matter what Society's image. 

Society is not perfect.
