Who cares if you have a few extra pounds? Or you have a few less?
If you have mismatched, hand-me-down clothes with holes and stains on them? Or you have brand-new designer label clothes?
Who cares if your hair is completely uneven and is dyed a million different colors? Or if you have the 'hottest hair for this season'?
Who cares if you wear way too much makeup? Or none at all?
Who cares if your skin is perfect? Or covered with scars and acne?
I don’t. And the people that do, don’t matter.
We, as a society, have a particular mold that we are meant to fit into. We have to fit that mold, otherwise we are shunned. We are ‘weird’. We are frowned upon if we do not want to fit social normality, because our society would prefer to have one of the exact same thing rather than a large variety of amazing, beautiful things.
That mold does not show a person’s great sense of humor, or awesome personality, or how much that person cares for others over themselves.
That mold does not define us, if we do not let it.
We do not need clothing choices, or makeup, or silky hair to define us.
What we need to define us is how we treat one another.
And while saying this, I do not mean with lies and talking behind one another’s backs and quietly judging from the shadows.
I mean be kind. I mean love one another, and not necessarily as though you would a partner. Love someone for the person they are. Love someone for the person they are even if they do some things you can’t stand. Love them anyway, because they are who they are, and they are amazing for that.
No one has the right to judge another. No one deserves to be frowned upon in any way. No one is a tattered shirt. No one is greasy hair. No one is one-dollar mascara from the drugstore. No one is the shape that is created from that mold, the thing that society wants, because no matter how hard you try, you are you.
