About Face

When you look at magazines you see all the celebrities that look flawless. It's like it's almost too good to be true. Miley talks about dealing with bad skin and seeing pictures of herself in magazines and then she would look in the mirror and see the real deal. Not the airbrushed and photoshopped picture she saw. Another quote that stood out to me when reading this time was, "Beauty is the enemy. We try to conquer not feeling beautiful all our lives. It's a battle that can't be won. There's no definition of beauty. The only way to acheive beauty is to feel it from inside without breakingit down into individual physical attributes." I can guarantee that every teenage girl at some point hates just about everything about themselves. Waking up in the morning and looking in the mirror picking out every single tiny little flaw. But those flaws are what make you who you are. If everything was perfect you wouldn't apreaciate anything in life. You have to learn that even if you just want to crawl back into bed, life keeps going. At times it can feel as if a little acne is the end of the world but you have to step back and realize that life could be ten times harder. As you grow up you begin to feel comfortable in your own skin. You realize your likes and dislikes, what is important in your life and whats not, etc. "You deal. You survive. You grow up and you build a career. And you remember these big/little hardships. They make you human."
