    “HOW

    do you define a word without concrete meaning? To each his own, the saying goes, so

    WHY

    push to attain an ideal state of being that no two random people will agree is

    WHERE

    you want to be? Faultless. Finished. Incomparable. People can never be these, and anyway,

    WHEN

    did creating a flawless facade become a more vital goal than learning to love the person

    WHO

    lives inside your skin? The outside belongs to others. Only you should decide for you -

    WHAT

    is perfect.”
    ― Ellen Hopkins, Perfect

    There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable

    Golda Poretsky
    “Body acceptance means, as much as possible, approving of and loving your body, despite its “imperfections”, real or perceived. That means accepting that your body is fatter than some others, or thinner than some others, that your eyes are a little crooked, that you have a disability that makes walking difficult, that you have health concerns that you have to deal with — but that all of that doesn’t mean that you need to be ashamed of your body or try to change it. Body acceptance allows for the fact that there is a diversity of bodies in the world, and that there’s no wrong way to have one.”

    “Beauty shouldn’t be about changing yourself to achieve an ideal or be more socially acceptable. Real beauty, the interesting, truly pleasing kind, is about honoring the beauty within you and without you. It’s about knowing that someone else’s definition of pretty has no hold over you.”
