Nothing about our standards, is standard at all

​



​In today's society, we are no strangers to acceptance and empathy when it comes to personal image issues. There's a want for true acceptance of who you are inside, no matter what you feel. Evidently we have strived in the recent years to steer clear of preconceived notions as to what makes someone feel like they're worth something… for the most part.
