Image.

They all say that image is everything.  All men should be buff.  All women should be tall, tan, and skinny.  So many people try to be that perfect person.  I don't know about anyone else, but when I look in the mirror I see an average height, very pale, mass of brown hair girl standing back at me.  I will admit there have been times when I wish I could look different.  That I could be taller.  Or even tanner.  But when it comes down to it, I like who I am.  Maybe I am not what everyone expects me to be.  But I have friend and family who love me for the way I look.  And someday I might even find a guy who likes me for who I am and how I look.  Because in the end it comes down to one thing: as long as you are okay with what you look like, no one can change that.

I may not be the skinniest or tannest person in the world, 

but I am very happy with who I am.
