When Reality Isn't Real

The majority of young girls have an image of what they want/wish to be, look like, or act like. Media plays a big role in our lives today. However, what is posted is NOT always the truth. Most images are edited and cropped to enhance and beautify their picture. Many people will compare themselves to this, but in reality the picture is not perfect. Nobody’s perfect, everybody has their flaws. Due to us comparing ourselves to the picture causes us to hide our individuality. We don’t follow our own style and uniqueness, and we don’t accept ourselves for who we really are. Yes, it’s good to strive towards perfection, but don’t forget who you are!
