in my world i'd ban television and movies and magazines and all sorts of pop culture that stain our society and teach guys they need to work out to look attractive and girls they need to be skinny to be loved. i'd get rid of it all, so people start seeing each other eye to eye and in a genuine way instead of what kind of clothes they wear. people wouldn't care about celebrities' lives because they would be more concerned with their own. shows like jerry springer and reality tv wouldn't exist to make us feel better about ourselves because that is a job that each and every one of us can do already.

people would fall in love and stay that way, because there wouldn't be all these images of beautiful people showing us a false reality we know we'll never have, but dream for nonetheless. my world would be stripped of such ridiculous expectations put on real people by actors on shows that are scripted. plastic surgery would be outlawed after society realizes it is unnecessary. if you need to change the way you look to be happy, then you haven't found true happiness, or someone special to love you. when you do find that person, they will open your eyes and allow you to see the real you - the one you've been missing out on.

don't live up to anyone's expectations other than your own. don't change the way you look or act for anybody else. be who you are - and if the people you care about most don't respect that, then it is time to move on in life and acquire some new company. your family will always support you, even if it is not evident. it is heartbreaking when someone you love doesn't like the way you are, but you -must not- change to accommodate them. this is prolonging an inevitable separation caused by your "act" struggling against your will to be your natural self.

live life, be yourself, and stay happy - at whatever cost it comes.
