We now live in a society, where body image is everything.
From teenagers desperate to feel as worthy, as the images they see on Instagram,
To adults who've spent their whole damn lives, being told there's only one way to be.
How is it that how we look on the outside, now outweighs who we are as people, in society?Again, this is in relation to how society measures people. How did it get to be so that how someone looks outweighs how they are as a person? The youth today have this even more amplified than I ever did. Constant messages of how to achieve that perfect figure, perfect make up, perfect physique. It's overwhelming. We are missing the point of what makes a good person. What makes a person happy.
