Isn't it strange and sad that certain things get promoted until there exist these widely-accepted "facts" about what's "ugly" versus what's beautiful? Who was the first to say that only pert, sphere-shaped breasts are beautiful, and Dorito-shaped breasts are not? And why did others accept that as the "truth"? People are so disconnected from their own unbiased perceptions of things. It's a real wake-up call to be able to throw all that toxic influence off and just see what's there, and let it affect us as it will. It makes everything in life so much richer and more colorful. It's TOTALLY worth doing, I wish more people would. This is the loveliest blog post I've read in a long time. Thank you! Gorgeously written.
