Alien World

ALIEN WORLD
Every morning I wake up in the armpit of this alien world. Yes I am talking about this world. When we are little we are told to be ourselves, be unique and to be comfortable in our skin. Right when we are accepting ourselves and finding ourselves, they tell us that we are different and that being different isn't right. We are told to love ourselves and our flaws.But once we learn to love ourselves, we are pressured by society. Society tells us that a perfect men is tall and built with big muscles. That the perfect woman is a certain shape and size like a Barbie doll. Men and woman go to extreme measures to chase that so called perfect image that isn't perfection. What kind of world do we live in? A world were instead of accepting and supporting each other to be unique, we tear each other down and make each other self-consciences. Instead of showing our individuality, we crawl in our shells. We hide, try to fit in and follow the rest of the people. Most of us die in our shells. There are only a handful who come out of their shell and show who they really are. Although we are pressured by society to act, believe and think a certain way. I am telling you there is nothing more beautiful and perfect then being yourself. We don’t realize that the picture we should be chasing is individualism not a certain size and shape. It’s better to be different then the same. Crawl out of your shell let everyone see the real you. Take your flaws, uniqueness, individualism and embrace them there what make you, you. You decide who you are, not society.
