Comparisons
I want to talk about comparisons.
How it deters, defeats and effects everyone in this world.
Breaks down even the strongest of people.
Because of how so subconsciously,
while scrolling through your instagram or twitter feed
it affects so many
and tears their self worth.
I want to talk about how everybody is beautiful
in their own sort of way,
and no one is perfect.
Whether you are 300 pounds and eat McDonald hamburgers every meal
Or you 100 pounds and only eat organic fruits and vegetables.
I want to talk about stereotypes,
how society somehow believes and almost encourages them.
How when you see someone on a magazine
or on social media
The way they portray themselves in a certain way
A way that causes you to believe you need to be like them.
I want to talk about loving yourself
and how important it is.
Whether you are wearing Walmart
or American Eagle.
Whether you are a size 0
or a size 14.
Whether you outfit is quote on quote “trendy” enough
Or if you jeans are quote on quote “new” enough
None of that is important
And its important to know that.
Because at the end of everyday,
No matter what,
When you look in the mirror
Whats looking back at you
Is all you got.
