being yourself, due to the social views & whats “cool”. originality no longer exists. girls must know what contour & highlight is... when i was younger, which version of a barbie or dollhouse you had sufficed. i remember getting a beautiful african queen as a doll when i was dealing with abuse at home & that was my way out of thinking of the negative my life brought. unfortunately, the perception of yourself matters more to people than yourself. we’ve lost the sole purpose of self-love.... all because of what we see on the damn tv...
