- Why is my mirror my worst enemy?
The mirror is my worst enemy because I can stare at myself for hours, pick at every flaw, every little thing wrong with me. I see the marks, the real me you don’t see.
- Why do I pick at every flaw?
I don’t want others to see me as anything less than perfect. The beauty standard changes and morphs so much that I don’t feel like I am enough. I’m not enough.
- Why am I not enough?
I’m not enough because the world is constantly telling me I’m not. We want to fit these impossibly perfect standards that it is not healthy to achieve.
- Why is the world constantly changing its ideas on beauty?
New seasons, new fashion, and new models coming out every year. We want to be them. We want to fit the impossibly perfect standards that are unhealthy even for them.
- Why do we want to fit these standards?
We don’t want to be left out. We want to fit in with everyone and have everyone like us. We don’t want to be outcasts and have the world think we are ugly. But the truth is, and I promise you, you are amazing and beautiful in your own way. Even if you don’t see it, many people think you are. Your beauty goes skin deep, your character goes to your soul. What matters to you? Figure that out, and the rest will follow.
