' Maybe it was fitting in a world of insecurity, where curly haired kids wanted straight hair, heavy kids wanted to lose weight, skinny kids wanted to gain it, and everybody wanted to be somebody else — the one true beauty was the girl who simply knew herself and was happy with what she knew. '
- The Wonder Years
We live in a time where flaws are to be hidden, mistakes forgotten and pain concealed. Our thoughts and imaginations and ambitions are overshadowed by appearances: the facades we plaster to our beings with cake makeup faces and false friends meant to disguise our true selves.
Our hours are riddled with technology and texting and multitasking. We have shortened attention spans that just worry, worry, worry and because we hear so often how we’re different or disappointing or less attractive or better or wore than everyone else, few people stop to realize we’re all really the same.
