Why do we strive for "perfect"?
Adding filter upon filter to photos 
in hopes to achieve the highest amount of "likes" possible.
Why do we try so hard for these intangible praises for our appearance?
The ideals of perfection that have been drilled into our brains from day one. 
Perfect.
A word thrown around so mercilessly. 
There are so many other adjectives to describe
a soul like yours. 
Beautiful, intelligent; 
Kind, affectionate. 
These words should fill your brain with more enlightenment than "perfect". 
Strive to be interesting and inspiring. 
Allow your brilliance to shine through naturally. 
Kick filters to the side. 
Your beauty is none like any other.
