Have you ever looked in the mirror and said, wow... I hate my ______. Or I wish I looked like ______. I'm pretty sure we all have. Chances are, the trait you are talking about is not a big deal. If we all looked the same, no one would be unique. Flaws are unique and unique is perfect. Some girls I've talked to think that "Their hair is puffy." or "Their freckles are ugly." or "You wish they made potion for dimples to disappear." I know I'm not the only one that has looked at a magazine and said, "Wow, I really wish I looked like her." The thing we don't realize is that magazine editors can rip, tear and edit pictures into their form of perfect. But their perfect is wrong, it's fake.
I know I said everyone is perfect, but many magazine calculations of perfect is wrong. Perfect isn't blonde hair, blue eyes, plump lips or a size 0. The correct meaning of perfect is only one thing and that's REAL BEAUTY. It's not acceptance. It's being who you are because you know it's beautiful. I know you've heard this before, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Don't listen to the people in this world that criticize you to the ground. They have a misconception of beauty. Beauty is you. Just because you have flaws, doesn't mean you don't have real beauty. Imperfect is perfect. Just remember that. (:
