Perfection is a scam! Stop trying to look “perfect”

There’s no such thing!

I realise the headline may be surprising, and a little negative, but please stay with me. The longer I continue with my self-love journey the more I get angry about how much of my life I wasted fighting to change my body and myself. To look as society says I should. To be thin, have great hair, perfect makeup, eyeliner on fleek, immaculate nails, and so on. I ignored everything good about me. If I wasn’t perfect on the outside anything else was irrelevant.

That is bullsh*t! I am so much more than how I look. There are so many other parts of me. Just like there are lots of other wonderful things about you. The reason we all believe we’re not is because there are many industries who rely on that belief. Industries who make billions every year by reinforcing it. Yes, that’s right diet, fashion, and beauty industries. I’m looking at you! If every person in the world decided to love themselves exactly as they are then these industries would die. They can’t allow that to happen.

What Do They Do?

They make the goal of perfection unachievable to all but a tiny percentage of the population. If it ever looks like too many people are feeling perfect on the outside then they hurriedly move the goalposts.
