I think it’s so heartbreaking that so many people today are spending an unnecessary amount of time dying for acceptance. I wish I could grab them by the hand and tell them that it’s okay to feel deficient sometimes. It’s okay to feel ugly or happy or sad or whatever you want to feel. Other people feel like that, too, sometimes. Everyone seems to be forgetting that they aren’t alone here. I’ve never understood how society – a collective entity composed of people, manages to alienate an individual. Everyone is so starved out for human consent. We’ve forgotten that the concept of acceptance doesn’t always have to lie in the hands of perfection. When did we get off track thinking that it was okay to spend our entire life chasing after something that we aren’t capable of attaining? When we focus our energy into being perfect, that is when we begin to lose ourselves – that is when we lose our beauty. We can’t forget that there will always be people who actually appreciate messy hair and summertime freckles – people who pick up the the fallen leaves and take pictures of broken seashells.
