"I don't think that being a strong person is about ignoring your emotions and fighting your feelings. Putting on a brave face doesn't mean you're a brave person. That's why everybody in my life knows everything that I'm going through. I can't hide anything from them. People need to realise that being open isn't the same as being weak."

- Taylor Swift

Will our lives ever be...guiltless?
Will we ever have...freedom?

Every day, girls from even the most privileged countries in the world, are subject to endless advertisement, criticism, brainwashing and promises of 'improvement'. Every girl is beautiful. Remember that.

Inspired by those inspiring if slightly hypocritical Dove ads.
