    The saddest part is when he asks her about her aspiration in life and she answers to be happy, even when she looks absolutely flawless she doesn't feel complete or happy, when you think of it a lot of us grew up not knowing what we want or why were we born in the first place, with no role models, no one to support us or accept our imperfections and make us feel loved, believing in our potentials instead of limiting us and putting us into boxes of what society expects us to be, no one there to perpetuate the concept of dreams or talent or different is ok, different is good, but everyone wanting you to lool a certain way, get a degree at a certain age, find a job, have kids but not later, cuz the clock is ticking, for us women, our every move is followed by criticism, sometimes on things we can't control, it's frustrating and unfair but we are the source of life, beauty, kindness and giving, remember you are loved and appreciated in all forms, sizes, races and genders no matter how you decided to live your life ❤

    LYRICS:
    Miss Third Wards, your first question
    What is your aspiration in life?
    Oh My aspiration in life
    Would be to be happy
    Mama said, you're a pretty girl
    What's in your head it doesn't matter
    Brush your hair, fix your teeth
    What you wear is all that matters
    Just another stage
    Pageant the pain away
    This time I'm gonna take the crown
    Without falling down, down
    Pretty hurts
    We shine the light on whatever's worse
    Perfection is the disease of a nation
    Pretty hurts
    We shine the light on whatever's worse
    Tryna fix something
    But you can't fix what you can't see
    It's the soul that needs the surgery
    Blonder hair, flat chest
    Tv says bigger is better
    South Beach, sugar free
    Vogue says
    Thinner is better
    Just another stage
    Pageant the pain away
    This time I'm gonna take the crown
    Without falling down, down
    Pretty hurts
    We shine the light on whatever's worse
    Perfection is the disease of a nation
    Pretty hurts
    We shine the light on whatever's worse
    Tryna fix something
    But you can't fix what you can't see
    It's the soul that needs the surgery
    Ain't got no doctor or pill that can take the pain away
    The pain's inside
    And nobody frees you from your body
    It's the soul that needs surgery
    It's my soul that needs surgery
    Plastic smiles and denial
    Can only take you so far
    And you break
    When the paper sign leaves you in the dark
    You left a shattered mirror
    And the shards of a beautiful girl
    Pretty hurts
    We shine the light on whatever's worse
    Perfection is the disease of a nation
    Pretty hurts
    We shine the light on whatever's worse
    Tryna fix something
    But you can't fix what you can't see
    It's the soul that needs the surgery
    When you'r alone all by yourself
    And you're lying in your bed
    Reflection stares right into you
    Are you happy with yourself?
    It's just a way to masquerade
    The illusion has been shed
    Are you happy with yourself?
    Are you happy with yourself?
    Yes

      Spiritual Rhome most models don’t starve themselves. If you have seen, Victoria’s Secret models eat very high protein and healthy diets. They work out very frequently. If they starve themselves they won’t have the energy to work out. Most of them are healthy. Just because someone is naturally tall and thin doesn’t mean that they’re unhealthy or starving themselves. It’s pathetic. To be honest with you, It isn’t even about the facts, or the statistics on how many models starve themselves. It’s that stupid tendency of people to make assumptions based on thin and tall body types. Even if you aren’t that body type, there are people who have that body type. I see so many people being rude to these people just because they have unusual and uncommon measurements.
