I blame the media.

I'm angry, I guess.
Annoyed a little..
Frustrated,
Pissed off.

Dear media,
You suck.
Sooooooooooo much.
Coz without even knowing it, we let you control our lives.

A group of random people with different qualifications in writing get to shape everyone's opinions.
They decide what 'the norm' is.

Grrrrrrrrrr. :@
Why am I so mad at the media, you wonder.

Well,
I nearly lost my best friend to this curse.
A curse of believing that beauty is ruled by the media.
I was scared that I would never see her again as she grew weaker and progressively more frail and sad.

My friend has so much potential.
She's always been smarter than me.
She wants to do Law after high school. There is no doubt in my mind that she will achieve this.

But as she started to listen to the warped version of the truth that society spun,
She disappeared into the shadows of low self-esteem,
She was taken captive by the monster that restricted her freedom of eating then speech and thinking.

She is beautiful.
But she didn't see it.

Luckily for us, she was strong enough to pull herself out of the trap.

But there are millions of girls across the world held back by the same monster.
Suffering alone or helping each other to slowly kill themselves. :'S

I blame you, media.
You are the ones speculating this stupid unrealistic beauty standard.
There is more than one type of beauty in the world,
And every year, the standards get crazier.

So I'd say back out before you are eaten alive,
Or sewn into the web of the Beauty Myth.
