She looks at herself in the mirror and notices nothing but imperfections. She sits down on her dusty old carpeting, directly analyzing herself in the mirror. She takes off her shirt and shorts, the only garments that remain on her body are her underwear and her bra. She is now vulnerable to to criticism and judgement from her own self. Her eyes act like army generals, scanning her body for any additional infringements to her path of loving herself. Her hands act like soldiers, commanded by the mind to assist in searching the body for more flaws. She grabs a tape measurer and starts measuring the circumference of her thighs, her waist, her bust, and immediately starts researching if these are the measurements society expects her to be. Her fingers type at lightning speed, all in a rush to find out if there is a chance her figure is normal compared to the rest of her age group. Her mind is all over the place, confused and conflicted. Her phone keeps buzzing but her head is trapped in a daze. A daze that doesn’t just mean she is confused, but that she is lost. She is trapped in her body behind layers of humiliation and embarrassment. She is a prisoner to her subconscious. She is ashamed of who she is. Before the world judges her, she judges herself. She is lost in who she is. She is lost behind the countless thoughts that swarm her head on a daily basis. Thoughts that impact her perception of herself. Thoughts that lead to self-degradation. Her biggest enemy is herself.
The internet is taking an awfully long time to load the page and reassure her of her results. Her eyes, acting like they have been deprived of food and water for years, remain anxious for the results. The website finally loads. She lifts her hands off her sticky keyboard. She is normal. She gets up from her chair and walks back over to the mirror again. She says to the mirror, “I’m normal.” Her reflection comforts her and responds, “you are normal.”

Society is horrible, it judges you for what ever you look like, 'normal' is such a lose used term. Everybody is normal in there own ways, also on the same page everyone is unique and there difffences should be appreciated. How many people go through this struggle day in day out. If you use YouTube, you should look at model edited from a pizza. If you don't use it, it is basically a pepperoni pizza edited in to a model that they use in magazines and this is what people are comparing to being normal. Hope you have a good day, beauty is in everyone. :)
