Lindsey Gates-Markel Quotes
Widen Your Vision Of What Beauty Is. Realize And Keep Close The Fact That A Beauty Standard Has Been Created By The Very People Who Sell It, And That It Is No Accident That The Accepted "beauty Standard" Can Easily Be Described As "perfect." Flaws Are Not Tolerated If You Want To Be Perfect. But The Models That We See Most Often--even The Tallest And Thinnest And Most Doe-eyed--are Still Pinned And Sprayed And Pulled Into Place. Then They Are Manipulated Digitally Until, Literally, Everything That Might Be Perceived As A "flaw" Is Erased. This Is A Way To Sell Product. It Has Nothing To Do With Real Life. It Has Nothing To Do With You. We Are Made Of So-called "flaws." They Are The Thread That Stitches Our Parts Together And Keeps Us From Being Generic Cut-out Paper Dolls. You Are Beautiful. You Are Enough, Now And Always. You Have Always Been Enough.
