Beauty

Everyone perceives beauty very different from each other. Some may see beauty as blond hair, blue eyes, and a great body. Some may see beauty as bikini clad girls, some may see beauty as a man who is sweaty with a six pack. Sounds familiar? I am describing magazines and popular media.

The media tells us that beauty is flawless and perfect. It tells us standards to ascribe to that are practically impossible to obtain. Look at this video of a woman being photoshopped to look "perfect"


When you google beauty, this is what comes up:


Unattainable images of flawless skin and perfection. Why does our society strive for something so fake? As human beings we are bound to have some scars and some scratches and chubby parts. That is how we function. 

In our culture beauty may be perceived as an unrealistic image of a perfect person, but in reality beauty can exist in the way someone shares a heartfelt story, opens themselves to be vulnerable, or how they smile. Every single person including you (yes, you) has a smile so unique and when it is shared with the world, it is beautiful. So smile gosh darn it. But know it is ok not to as well. 

Sometimes I hear people say "that's attractive" in a joking manner, and I have as well. I think that I need to change my language because it is portraying that a face with cake all over, or a runny nose, or an interest in reading is not attractive. Because to some people, it probably is. Being you is awesome!

To wrap this up, just be you, know that everyone has flaws, and smile :)

Have a great day gorgeous people.

Nine months later I emerge with the hopes of being vaccinated soon. FUcking hell. What a trip. This pandemic is going to require a lot of processing in the future but for now, I want to share and record some things I am very proud that I accomplished over this period of time. I was able to help start and run a campaign to eventually get my high school drama teacher who spread the rumor that I called the cops at a cast party which ruined my social life at that school while stalking me and my friends and constantly trying to get me in compromising and damn disgusting and gross situations. His charm to his superiors and the gaslighting and abuse of students has been heavily weighing on me in a way I have yet to fully deal with. I spoke out in high school and was silenced, threatened, and made to feel unwelcome. Yet the internet and living in a whole separate continent does wonders for confidence. I helped create a petition, gathered testimonies, and launched this campaign with my friends

Rainy Night Writing

There is something quite different about writing when it is raining outside than when it isn't. I despise my frozen toes and fingers, yet I love drinking chocolate almond milk with banana bread. It seems almost enchanting, like creativity is plopping on your rooftop. Writing in the rain, so odd. Writing in the rain It is like laughing during a thunder cloud, in perfect harmony with nature, rhyming and paralleling the weather, writing in the rain, creativity pours from you, as you hear the pitter patter, you wonder where the drops will all go, writing in the rain, a clean slate to begin again, a downpour of ideas, soon to come again, I love writing in the rain.
