Lying To Be Perfect

Deception and perfection are wonderful traits, one will breed love, the other hate.... Or so the song goes

We've all wanted to be something we're not, wether its to be more beautiful, more intelligent, more sophisticated or simply to be more like someone else.

And through the occasional white lie, many of us believe we can be like we wish to be.

But where do those white lies stop.

People create completely new versions of themselves, purely to be "perfect"

Why can't we just like ourselves the way we are?

The answer to that question is simple, we compare ourselves to unrealistic ideals, wether we want to be skinnier after we read fashion magazines or want to be more muscular after watching muscle man III

If We compare ourselves to unrealistic idols, we will always feel bitter and worse afterwards.

You don't have to lie to be perfect, you already are.

Hi, I'm Latrodectus, but you can call me Lat. I'm 14 and I love to write. I write at least 1 or 2 times a week and write everything from acrostics to opinion posts (and everything in-between) I'm also writing my first ever book/full story "The Darkworld Chronicles." I write to help find myself and who I really am and to help me deal with life's problems and stresses. I like drawing, acting, singing and gymnastics but don't like algebra, sport or swimming. My interests vary wildly (as do my works) and I feel it gives me some variety. Thanks for reading this, have fun in my world of writing :) ~Lat

Perfect Imperfection

I've been thinking about perfection. That stereotype we all see. Day after day. There are those people who. Strive in vain to look exactly like models. Wasting their lives away.

Misunderstood

Don't worry if you feel you're not understood, If you could change that, you probably would. But just think, there are people you don't understand, The way that they talk or the way that they stand.

I Know

I know I'm not that funny. I know I'm not that bright. I know I'm often lost for words. I know I don't have perfect sight. I know I'm not the fastest. Or athletic in anyway.

This is just me. I like me this way. If you don't like it. You don't have to stay. I'm honest and blunt. Say how I feel. I'm living my own life. I'm keeping it real. My words they might hurt you.
