You see one thing yet I see another.
When i look into the mirror I see nothing but someone who needs to change.
The rolls, how my stomach is too big, my thighs touch, I have too many chins for a small girl.
How can you tell me I am beautiful when everything I see about myself is the opposite?
When I look into these magazines or look on the internet, and all I see is girls who are as thin as a tooth pick and that is the idea of beauty that is portrayed everywhere, how am I to believe you when you say I am beautiful?
The image I see when I look in the mirror is warped by the impossible  expectations that are expected of us every single day.
Rise above and love yourself.
