You can't surrender to them. You've gotta remember that you're the only thing you'll ever truly have. And no, I don't mean your body. Because someday that will go bad no matter what you do.

I mean you. I mean the way your bright eyes go wild when you smile and how your laugh is so melodic it's a song.I mean the way your creativity is a compass that leads you to what you love.

And you don't need any miracle cream to keep your passions smooth, hair free, or diet pills to slim your kindness down. And when you start to drown in these petty expectations, you've gotta re-examine the miracle of your existence because you are worth so much more than your waistline.

You are worth the beautiful thoughts you think and the daring dreams you dream, undone and drunk off alcohol of being.
