So, one of my very awesome friends, Izzy, recently introduced me to the website WeHeartIt.com. We Heart It is pretty much a website filled with quirky and beautiful photography, modeling, quotes, statements, etc. It's amazing and interesting to go through, really. Artwork, quirky Forever21/ Urban Outfitters-esque fashion(my taste indeed). As much as I adore it, however, it also has a downside on my mood. I'll go through the pictures, see all the stick-skinny and gorgeous models and feel like I'm not good enough. I mean, it's inspiring, but saddening. And, honestly, what teenage girl is going to look at a beautiful and skinny model with the words "You're beautiful, no matter what society thinks" printed on her hand, and actually feel better about themselves? It's just hard to relate to. I think girls need more than just "perfect" people to look up to. Perhaps it would be more uplifting to see a 100 pound blonde girl holding the hand of an overweight brunette with the same quote. <3
