Why?

First off listen to this.



"Turn the television off, cousin, that ain’t nothing for a girl to see
I’ve got a niece and best believe she mean the world to me
and she don’t need to see the shit that they think a girl should be"
First of I fully agree with this. As I have said before we have this ideal woman placed in our minds wither we realize this or not. there are so many things wrong with television and media, do the good really weigh out the bad?



"ninety pound skinny bitches that ain’t even girl to me
essentially this shit designed to take a hold of you
telling lies till your vision takes control of you"
WOah...woahhh... wait... so you cant yell "go on a diet" but you can yell at us who are twigs by gene "go eat a sammage!!"...... you say what?????? Kay I agree, not everyone should be on a diet or ashamed of their bodies, but seriously? How hypocritical is that?



"they finding different ways to take your fucking soul from you
a show about a model make your self esteem low for you
everything is fake trust me no one that lovely
I’ve met a lot of famous people and they fat and ugly"
The rich and famous are very much edited and what not, same with models. This is horrible for everyone young and old. The stakes are set too high. We should identify this and move on. Until society stops being so fucking fascinated with this culture we wont change. 



"I ain’t any better I just think the fact is funny
that they’ll take a little girl and pimp her for the cash and money
and whats gonna become of them in like fifty years
when Hannah Montana turning into Britney spears
they chew you up and spit you out cus no one really cares
and aint nobody gonna hold you when you really scared
where the parents at cousin this is really bad
is this the motherfucking manager or really dad
is he concerned about his daughter or his silly pad
this aint gonna change nothing I jus think this is really sad"

Nuff said.

I am Me

you "I am me? Isn't that obvious?"
me "Yes but are you happy with you? Do you look at your face and think, I like what I see! There's no improvement I would make to this face!"
you "Yes, but no, my skin is all blotchy. I think I'm going to buy that moisturiser that evens out my skin tone. That will fix everything"
me "Yes maybe it will work, and maybe it wont. What will you do if it doesn't?"
you "Well that's what foundations for, isn't it?"


I don't know the answers to life, but I think its rather sad that our world has come to this. I look in the mirror and I cringe at my skin. I inspect every bump and scar. Is this really the way life's supposed to be? Are we supposed to dislike what we are? No, if you think about it, a few red spots on your face isn't that big of a deal/ Preteens and teenagers sometimes stay home from school when they have a breakout, or stand in front of mirrors hating themselves. This is so wrong. So much for the "American Dream", North America the land of happiness and fulfilment. How is this so when we are conditioned to hate our skin. You are not more successful if you have perfect skin. Your not a better person, your not a nicer person, BLABLABLA. Now, I'M not trying to bring those with perfect skin down, all I am saying is that those of us with spots that no face wash or skin regimin will fix shouldn't stress ourselves out SO FRIGGEN MUCH. We need to learn to look at skin a different way.

Love yourself for who you are♥
