Society's definition of pretty and beautiful has changed over the years due to social media. So I question, what is the real definition of pretty?

For me, it has changed due to past experiences I've had to go through. Me? I'm nowhere near pretty or beautiful or attractive or anything like that. I barely make average because if anything I'm below average.

And I'm perfectly happy with that. I'm actually quite proud of it. I don't wear makeup every day, I don't put effort into my everyday outfits, I even wear oversized clothing and sweatshirts because I feel self-conscious and I feel ugly therefore in my mind, why even try to look pretty if it's only going to cause me more anxiety and more stress?

But see, here is the issue- why has society made people feel like this? Or rather why does society make people feel like this because I know for a fact I'm not the only one. Sure, I may let it affect me more than other people let it but I know that when I see all of these people wearing crop tops that show stomach and pants or shorts that show off their thigh gaps or their long skinny legs, it makes me want to go hibernate in my bed for the rest of my life.

I can't and will never be able to look like that. And no, it's not because I don't go to the gym enough, that's just not the way my body was made to look like. And no, I'm not jealous of their bodies. I love my body and I accept myself for who I am, but the way society plays up this perfect body image is just annoying and ridiculous. And yes, companies and organizations are doing things to show that you're beautiful no matter what your size is, it's the companies like Abercrombie.

I can count all of the clothes I've bought on Abercrombie on one hand and its two items. I got a shirt and a vest from there for my birthday in sixth grade and when I finally wore those clothes to school one of the popular girls in school actually acknowledged me for once and complimented my clothes. That was the first and last time we talked. And then we see years later, the whole Abercrombie controversy where they didn't want to sell plus size clothing but ended up selling plus sizes anyways because of the backlash they were receiving.

I think everyone deserves the chance to feel beautiful every second of every day. And the fact that not everybody has that upsets me and it just isn't right. Everyone is beautiful and no one should have to right to tell anyone differently- even if the person is CEO of a major company.
