You are affected by your features and because you're in it, you think something is wrong with the picture. You fix your hair all nice and neat, but no matter how hard you try you're still beat. Beat because society wants you to look a certain way, so having the best of the best becomes your routine each and everyday. Your life is sinking because you focus on what others think. Trying to make everyone else happy caused your happiness to shrink. Everything must be perfect from the curl of your lash to the color of your eyes. I've been studying this for years and it has made me realize. No one has to live in my body but me, so why should I care if the rest of the world doesn't agree. As the cameraman takes the picture, I smile even if I have flaws that I don't agree with. I had to realize even a picture isn't picture perfect.
