I know it's mothers day but I just had to get this out.

Mothers today just don't get it.

At school and such, we are told frequently that we're fine the way we look. Big, small, short, tall. We're all the same and we're loved all the same. We're told to not listen to stupid magazines or guys who only use their second head. They are one hundred percent correct and I stand right behind them.

I'm not sure if these people realize that impressing a boy isn't our only worry.

I don't know about you but every time I grab two scoops of ice cream instead of one, I automatically feel disappointed in myself. Why? Because, of course, I don't reach my mother's standards. Eat this, do that. I feel like she's my personal trainer and dietitian.

Yes, if you are wondering, I am minimizing this window every time my mother comes by. As much as I stand by my word, she's doing this because she loves me. She just doesn't love how I look.
