Are you perfect?

Living in the 21st century (i'm starting to believe, one of the craziest/weirdest centuries so far) this question gets more & more forced.

Every era had it's stereotypes before as well, as this age has its own too. But I think this one is going too far now. Proof: I found this pic on my twitter's timeline. Relief, the comment next to this pic was the following: 'I dunno what's scarier. Her protruding hip bones or the fact tht this is ppl's idea of perfection.'

But it's weird that at least one person thinks it's pretty...

COME ON,OPEN YOUR EYES! THIS IS SOOO UNHEALTHY! People often tend to forget that not just being overweight is dangerous,but being this skinny is as well.

And yes,people are taking things too far. I just don't know how many should die in anorexia/bulimia/other eating disorders to stop this lets-just-be-so-skinny-that-we-get-transparent trend.

Because this mindset supports/encourages those mentally ill people. My art teacher once said: "This era's trend is being skinny since it's harder to approach that look. The past centuries the curvier/ more voluptuous figure was popular since that was hard to get."

That's why many of the females get upset if they gain 3,5,7kgs when it's not even noticeable. Or they want the curvier ones to loose some weight because "they will look so gorgeous afterwards" -whereas they look stunning without any weight loss.

I'm not a stick either. I could loose weight as well,but i'm just not doing it. Why?

1. I'm not unhealthily overweight, i just have some extra kilos on, which just gives me a healthier look. I'm 1.68m tall 64kg. Believe me,that's not fat.

2. At this age (being 19) I shall not deal with weight loss. Nor any other teenagers. We're still growing,our bodies are still maturing so just forget the whole thing.

I know what I'm talking about, I've experienced most of the things (being called fat, feeling fat& ugly,trying different weight loss methods), but -thanks God!- i never self harmed. I have tried to loose weight countless times since the age of 15-16. I have been listening my family say: "don't eat you are just getting fatter" "your ass looks fat" "aren't you on a diet? you shouldn't be eating" many times.

And I'm shameful I didn't realize it sooner, that i'm making wrong decisions. I thought I have a healthy picture in front of me, I have to adjust to but I was wrong. Since my family forces this 'be flat,then you can call yourself pretty' thing, I thought that's the only way people can feel healthy & beautiful.

I was SOO wrong!

Kilos are one of the last things, your happiness depends on. Your mind is free, calm at heart and you are your own boss, that's happiness.

And answering the question: no, you are probably not. And that's the great thing! Perfect person doesn't exist and there's no need for their existence.

stay healthy & enjoy life :)
