The Perfect Girl
The perfect girl is popular
She is funny
She is smart
She’s got her life together
She is confident
She is cool
If the perfect girl is all of these things,
then what is an average girl?
The perfect girl isn’t needy
She isn’t annoying
She isn’t a liar
If the perfect girl isn’t these things,
does that mean an average girl is?
The perfect girl always wears makeup
She always wears her best clothes
She’s always on time
If the perfect girl is always these things,
does that mean the average girl isn’t?
The perfect girl never forgets anything
She never has a hair out of place
She never gets hurt
She never cries
She never worries
If the perfect girl never does these things,
does that mean the average girl does?
If the average girl isn’t perfect,
and the perfect girl isn’t average,
what happens to these traits?
Do they all go to the perfect girl
and leave the average with nothing?
The answer is the average girl is perfect,
and the perfect girl is average.
It is a lie when someone says you’re perfect.
The truth about being perfect is that no one is.
Nothing is.
Everyone is different
and no one has all of these traits
Everyone has a different handful of them.
So, if there is no such thing as perfect,
there is no perfect girl
