Identify The Real Enemy


Reading time: One and a half minutes.


The enemy isn’t her because she has those eyes.

The enemy isn’t her because she has those lips.

The enemy isn’t her because she has that hair.

The enemy isn’t her because she has that skin tone.

The enemy isn’t her because she’s with the type of guy you’d want to be with.

No seriously, the enemy isn’t her.

Your real enemy is any element of society that tells you that beauty can only be found in this teeny, tiny box right here. So you better jump in if you want to be beautiful.

Better have the right skin tone

Better have the right hair

Better have that right bum to waist ratio

Better be right

By any means necessary.

And If you can’t fit naturally, please at least do your very best to squeeze. 

Please twist yourself and squish yourself and squash yourself. 

Please turn yourself upside down and back to front and sideways, longways and all ways.

Please, make yourself unrecognisable if you have to.

Please, just fit into this 

teeny 

tiny 

box.

That is your real enemy. Better recognise.
