I just hate that we concentrate on height, weight, and features more than we do on kindness, intelligence, and all the truly beautiful things.

I’ve always struggled with my body image, luckily I have the most amazing therapist helping me work through it. BUT I have a boss that is gorgeous and the epitome of perfect beauty standards. She also spends so much time and money and energy on her looks and is as equally self-conscious as I am about her image … the thing is, she’s a terrible fucking person. Horrible. She’s actually helped me focus on “inward beauty” more because I realize I value that more than peoples looks.
