OH HAI I LOVE YOU

SAVE THE COCONUT PB

THAT IS TOO MUCH OF A SACRIFICE FOR MY LOVE

GUYS

THIS ANON IS HAPPY BECAUSE WE ARE UGLY

I LOVE THIS

Anon, I am so happy to have given you this realisation, I think it is REALLY important. We often tend to ‘idolise’ people, and think ‘oh I wish I was as pretty as ___, they are so perfect and flawless and look good all the time’.

Nope.

You only see the selfies we CHOOSE to post. We always want to put our best foot (face) forward.

Think about an episode of Next Top Model. Of the hundreds or thousands of photos they take in one photoshoot, with a full hair and makeup team and the help of airbrushing, we see ONE final product that has been deemed best. Even models, whose sole livelihood depends upon their appearance and are paid to look ‘flawless’, have their struggles. 

I promise you, we are ALL normal. Or maybe there is no normal.

Me, you, all of the girls and bloggers I’m friends with, celebrities you read about, I’m sure even Scarlett Johansson gets pimples every now and again.

Don’t forget that anything you see online has been selectively and deliberately chosen in an attempt to present ourselves in a certain way, whether subconscious or not. We’re all definite fans of ugly selfies though, that’s exactly what snapchat (and, evidently private Instagram messaging) is for.

In fact, I propose a challenge. To anyone reading this who wants to take part - I have a dare for you. Tomorrow morning, before you put on makeup (if ou do so) or alter your appearance in any way, I want you to look at yourself, tell yourself that you are beautiful, and share that moment with us.

I will post a natural, normal, makeup and filter-free selfie tomorrow morning, not for the sake of cancer awareness, but as a simple act of letting you guys know that it’s okay to be exactly who we are, and none of us are perfect.
