Despite what the world says looks really do matter. How will I get a job with crooked teeth turning every which way? How will I expect respect when I'm not dressed like I deserve it swallowed in sweat pants and a tattered hoodie? I will not be enough despite my brains if I am dressed like a kindergarten. My looks will never be good enough to land me that dream job but at least I will be able to say, "I acknowledged that." Looks really do matter even if you have the brains.
Society's Standards are absurd I pluck my eyebrows, shave my legs, you will not see a hole in my jeans or a wrinkle in my shirt, not a pimple on my face, or a yellow spot on my teeth, not a curl in my hair yet I will never be good enough to make my 89 cents to his dollar despite my brains.
