Question

Write a letter to your unfiltered self. Open up about your struggles at fitting in with your society’s standard of beauty. End your letter by encouraging your unfiltered self.

Answer 1

Dear self,

The journey to adopting society’s standards has been a struggle for you; in many cases, you have put a lot of effort into fitting into the standards of a beauty standard that other people in the society have established. I know it is hard to reach the standards, but you are struggling despite all the challenges. I am happy that you are trying to withstand rejection and discrimination, and I have learned to embrace you and cheer up for the struggles. I encourage you to continue struggling ad avoid fighting others to prove yourself. Please, don’t allow negativities posed by others to affect you; instead, continue with what you have and always be strong.
