Someone told me last night that it's not even realistically possible to love yourself 100% without regard whatsoever to your personal appearance, weight, shape, or size. She said that expecting this would be in itself a form of perfectionism; thus making it unrealistic. Perhaps I tend to be somewhat perfectionistic, but I'm also idealistic--I believe that being content and joyful is indeed possible without regard in any way for my physical appearance. In short--it's my mission to teach myself, and those around me that this is possible. I want to prove her wrong. Mostly, I want to prove society wrong.
