It is very important for people to be able to accept their “flaws and imperfections”. Everybody is beautiful in their own way. There are a bunch of us in this world who pick out all of the small things about ourselves that we feel self-conscious about. This brings down our self esteem and we start to feel less of ourselves, like we are worthless. That can lead to not feeling good enough for anyone and then we start to seclude ourselves from everyone around us. I don't think anyone should pick at themselves like that because it’s just fine to not be “perfect” like a model or barbie doll. All these little things that we dislike about ourselves shouldn’t matter because in other people’s eyes I doubt they see us the way we see ourselves. We shouldn’t hide who we are, instead we should embrace it. As a society we should not let these imperfections change us; we need to learn how to love ourselves more. We were put in this world for a reason and we aren't here forever, so why do we let the little things we think about ourselves get us down. A diamond with a flaw is worth more than a pebble without imperfections. Sometimes we strive so hard for perfection that we forget that imperfection is happiness. Even imperfection itself may have its ideal or perfect state. We are our own kind of perfect.
