Dear Society,
Imagine what life would be like if you were an ant. Following around other ants, doing what they expect of you, and aiming to not be the weakest link so the outside world does not crush you. Well society, that is how you are perceived to be.
We have become part of a world where you have to be a certain size in order to be considered beautiful, or to be taken seriously. You have to be a certain color in order to be liked by some. You have to be a particular political party to be allowed to have an opinion. And most importantly, you have to be someone that you are not in order for people to accept, and most importantly, love you.
So society, why is this? Why must we give the impression that someone should feel bad about himself or herself for eating the last slice of pizza, or that because someone may not be the best at something, they are not enough?
Well society, I say that you are enough. You are more than the people and negativity that brings you down. You are more than the jeans that you wore in high school that may not fit you anymore. You are more than the color of your skin or hair, and certainly much more than the outfits you pick out when you wake up in the morning. You are more than the exterior things that people may bring you down for, we are all worth more because of the people we choose to be.
Listen to yourself. You know what is best for you. Vote for the candidate that makes you happy regardless of who the person next to you is voting for, treat yourself to the foods that you crave, let yourself wear the outfit that may cause you to stick out in the crowd but makes you feel comfortable and most importantly, accept yourself. How is someone else supposed to accept you if you cannot even accept you for you?
Do not let the world get in the way of you being the best version of you.
Sincerely,
A member of your society
