What makes you perfect is not how your eyebrows mirror each other

Or how many curls you had time to do this morning

Or the name on the tags of your clothes
It’s all just a bunch of makeup

Hairspray

And letters. 

What makes you perfect is the way you treat others

The way you hold the door for someone when you didn’t have to 

It’s the things you dream about when you stare at the sky from the passenger seat of the car

It’s the song you listen to over and over because it brings you back to that special time with that special person

What makes you perfect is the smile that you give for no reason

The one that you mean

It’s the way you laugh until you cry

It’s the dreams you have

The secret hopes that you don’t tell anyone

It’s trying to silently cry while watching a movie

It’s crying when you need to 

It’s being strong 

It’s having courage
 and
Ambition and

Determination and

Acceptance. 

It’s being yourself when all else fails

What makes you perfect is everything that makes you.
