Today I was looking through magazines, and realized how they really effect the way we as young women see ourselves. We wonder why our society is so messed up. We live where we are constantly striving for perfection. It drives me crazy. Some days I wish that I could just shut the world out, and didn't have any sources of influence. I wish that I didn't care about the way I looked, the crazy idea to be skinny in order to be happy, dealing with product lust, and struggling with relationships. I feel the media has such a hold on us. I want to rid myself of that. I want to be simply happy with being twenty one, and who I am in my own skin.
