This describes how I feel about the world almost exactly. We are the heroes in this war. We do not back down or give up. We do not leave others behind. We reach out for each other, strengthen each other, and we will stand against the false beauty that has become the idol of society. Each of us is lovely in a unique way, not because we have the latest fashion accessory or the hottest shades of makeup. No. We are beautiful because we are real, and we’re right here. And we’re winning.

Who else is their to blame? I don’t know of anything/anyone else that takes pride in Photoshop, diet programs, and kicking everyone while they’re down. Nothing else sends people into a frenzy to buy the latest and greatest things, and giving people a false sense of happiness. Society is the only thing that causes people to feel like they have no hope, like they’re lost, and like they’re worthless.

But then again, I suppose this is a “to each their own” situation.

I am impressed, and so glad to hear that I am not the only succumbed to this crazy army of robot people that just follow whatever society wants them to do. You have a talent girl- work it! Haha, either way, I love this and you have a beautiful soul man, live on and prosper!

I spend way too much time thinking about how much skinnier I should be, and how maybe if I had more makeup I would be prettier. Or if I bought more clothes I would be prettier. But you know what? Those things shouldnt be number one on our to-do list. In fact, they shouldnt be there at all. I cant wait to start posting things, and while they will help others to remember that they’re beautiful they also remind me.

So many people just blame society for their problems and it makes me said.

Wow. This post is incredible. You inspire me and I 100% agree that Society’s view on “beautiful” is quite flawed. You don’t have to be skinny, blemish free, or wear the “in fashion” clothes to be beautiful. Everyone is beautiful! So I will join you in saying “Bring it on”.
About to become a Junior in high school, I am sick of the looks from people and that they give others, the ones that say “Wow, what the heck is she thinking?” ,”Why is she wearing that?” ,”She should wear more makeup.” , etc. The judgement needs to be stopped. It doesn’t matter what someone is wearing or how they are acting, it’s who they are in side. They are beautiful, inside and out.

amazing post…i personally agree with you, and while some people (namely a person who commented before) think that you are being mean (or something like that. if i misunderstood your words merideth, then i am sorry) i believe that this “letter” to society needs to be spread…therefore, i have decided i am going to print out some copies of this, and post them around school
