It's the same thing

Description

We must be thin
We must be caucasian
We must be tan
We must have breasts
We must have a round butt
We must have blond hair
We must have beautiful, colourful eyes
They should be anime-like
We must have long hair on our heads
But none on our bodies
We must be hot
Sexy
Cute
Beautiful
We must have a pretty face
A button nose
Rosy lips
We must be tall
Not too tall
We must have long legs
A long neck
Not too long
We must have a smile that can light up the room
We must be attractive
We must not gain weight
We must starve
We must expose ourselves to let people see our beauty
We must straighten and curl our hair until it burns
Dye it until it falls out
We must cake our face in chemicals to be pretty
We must inject our butts
Implant our breasts
We must act a certain way
We hate the way we are
We must live up to everybody's standards
We must risk our health
We must torture ourselves until we're beautiful, happy
But nothing ever satisfies

This. This is why I hate the media. This is why I hate society. Why must we act this way? Why must we be so unhappy with the way we look? Does it even matter really? Of course not. Who are we doing this for? Who are we trying to impress? Is it all really worth it? Is it?

You should be happy right now, that this is the kind of problem you deal with. You have luxury, comfort, an internet connection.
Before all this, it didn't matter. You were hunting. You were surviving. You were risking your life to keep yourself alive. Moronic things like this didn't matter, and it doesn't need to now.
Hygiene, that's different. Cleaning yourself free of parasites, bacteria and diseases, making sure you are a healthy weight, this is a whole different thing. You need to function properly, you need to be healthy, and you need to be clean and cleaned up. Altering your body to fit society's standards is one of the most stupid, pointless things out there. It doesn't matter. Society is a bunch of idiots. The media is a bunch of idiots. HUMANS are a bunch of idiots.
To let appearance cause this much of a problem. Depression, self-harm, suicide, all caused from this moronic thing. Animals don't care about appearance - they only need it to distinguish predator from prey, and to distinguish family from strangers. If they're ugly or not doesn't matter, and that's really the way it should be.

Sure, we may be completely past the whole 'living in nature' thing, but the way we are living is only causing harm. Harm to others, the world we live in, and to ourselves. Don't even get me started.

I'm not saying I don't struggle with self-image sometimes, because I do. Then I think about how I'm actually normal. I'm healthy. People don't retch at the sight of me. I fit into my clothes and I don't have any physical deformities. People like me because of who I am, not because of my looks. If things were based on looks, I wouldn't have as many friends as I do right now. After thinking about all that, I become happy, and I carry on with life, because YES. IT IS ACTUALLY THAT SIMPLE TO BECOME HAPPY. People over-complicate things completely.

I'm not sure what caused me to create this. I really just wanted to write the description, because some people need to take a chill pill, and shut the hell up about what they look like. (Including myself.)

yeah.....we have to be perfect. It's not fair, but it's life.....

I'm ugly, flat, and bland. short-haired, brown skin/eyes/ hair. As bland as the grey skies that haunt me.


Yeah. I agree with you.
