Reading Response
Differences. Why do we see such differences? From color to weight, and gender to nationality.. Why do we view differences as a negative connotation? We are all different. We come from many different places. Different countries. Different upbringings. ..So why do we expect a 'norm' among so many different people. We expect everyone to fit into what society says is acceptable.. which is unacceptable. We have these ridiculous beauty standards, we feel inclined to live up to.. but I think the most beautiful thing of all, is our differences! Being different is good. Being different makes you stand out. Why would I want to be like everyone else around me.. I am me. A unique person. The only person with these exact qualities and traits. We need to be okay, and love who we are.. differences and all. If we were all similar, what a boring world this would be.
