Dear Society (A Letter to the World)
Dear Society,
You are seriously messed up. And I'm going to tell you why. Society, the world, and pretty much anything you can think of excludes people, makes them feel worthless. All the messages we get is that we have to be perfect. We have to be pretty, skinny, smart, sporty, and normal.
Who the hell deserves the feel that they aren't pretty? Everyone is beatiful in some way. Just because they don't look perfect doesn't mean that they aren't just as worthy of anything than the prettiest girl in the world.
And really, does perfect has the same definition to anyone? If I took a poll of every Quibblonian, none of them would give the same answer. And who gives these standards? Who gets to decide how pretty you have to be, how skinny you have to be, how normal you have to be, ect.?
No one deserves to feel worthless. Everyone is talented at something, everyone has something to give. Every single person.
My message is simple. Society is fvcked up, not us. Not me. Just because someone doesn't meet your standards doesn't mean that they should be exiled. Soon, the bar to meet will be so high, no one will be able to reach it. And what then? What will happen then?
Perfect shouldn't be the goal. It's impossible to attain. Being happy with who you are, doing what's right, and being honest should be.
Goodbye and good day to you,
Annemarie

This is AMAZING Annemarie!!!!! You are so right, Society is completely messed up!!!!
I agree. It is. -.- Sigh. Why world, what have you become..
Was it something better before?
My thoughts exactly. This is totally going into my favorites. You go, Annemarie!
So right, too right, all right... Well I totally agree, all those tv commercials and stuff, it's like they just accept perfectness, while no one's perfect. Thank you for posting this.
Exactly. I was watching this movie, and this one character was supposed to be ugly and everything, but he didn't even look that bad. It's like regular looking people are considered "ugly" now. :P
I was thinking exactly the same thing just an hour ago when I broke down in tears after I looked in the mirror.
Society is a distorted image.
FAVOURITES.
Exactly!
Every movie, music video, models ect. They show this beautiful girls, and you stay thinking, why can't I be as pretty as them? Why can't I be as skinny as them why can't I have the curves they have?
Or you see them and ask yourself, why can't just put normal looking people? Why do they always have to look like that?
I really think we should change that!
"Society is fvcked up, not us. Not me. Just because someone doesn't meet your standards doesn't mean that they should be exiled."
Does this apply to Daniel Tosh? He made ra---p----e jokes and a lot of people on Change.org want to pull his economic plug and take him off TV permanently because society didn't like what he said. Does it apply to everyone or just shallow superficial topics like this?
Develop a personality and some skills and society will give you a place. I promise.
"Develop a personality and some skills and society will give you a place"? I don't mean to pick a fight or anything or to be downright rude, but let me just say that was VERY mean.
Amen.
