The Beauty Behind Your Flaws And The Ugly Behind Perfection

The Beauty Behind Your Flaws And The Ugly Behind Perfection

No one is perfect.

Not everyone is smart, not everyone has the perfect hair or skin, and certainly no one is better than anyone else in this world. Everyone has flaws, and that's more than okay because our flaws are our true beauty.

Flaws are more gorgeous than any supermodel or Hollywood star. Our imperfections are what make us who we are and the reason why our flaws make us beautiful is because when a person has faults, they are different.

Being different is not just beautiful, but it's also fun! It gives me a thrill to know that imperfections are going against societies expectations and my insecurities only give me strength.

Being different is beautiful because it shows who you truly are, and no one can take that away from you!

The way people see perfection is false in my eyes.

According to Google, the definition of perfect is "having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be," with synonyms such as ideal, model, flawless, utopian, and best.

I'm not sure who wrote this but they obviously don't know what perfection is when they see it. Fulfilling society's "requirements" is like starving yourself to be skinny and getting a nose job to have a more refined nose is nonsense!

My question to these people is, "Why do we need to change? Why do we have to live up your expectations because you should be living up to ours!?"

My philosophy is perfection is imperfection and imperfection is perfection, and I hope all of you will make this your new creed.

If you ever feel the need to do crazy things to be "perfect,'' DON'T!

Block out those voices in your head saying that, "You need to do this" and "You need to fix that to be beautiful." Please do yourself a favor and erase all those thoughts in your head and be proud of you who you are, because at the end of the day you'll be much happier.

In the words of Queen B, "Perfection is a disease of a nation, and it's the soul that needs a surgery."

Let your flaws shine and show the beauty that hides within.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
