"It's such a waste, when little girls grow into their mother's face. But little girls are  learning how to cut and paste, and pucker up their lips until they suffocate."

-Melanie Martinez ~Mrs. Potatohead~

"If you need a little more confidence, potatoes turn to french fries. Yeah, it's common sense. All you need is a little more condiments."

-Melanie Martinez ~Mrs. Potatohead~

"Ever since happiness heard your name, it has been running through the streets trying to find you."

"Destroy what destroys you."

-Unknown

I chose all these quotes for a reason. The ones by Melanie Martinez remind me that I don't have to fit society's standards of beauty to be beautiful. I am stunning in my own way, I need to remember and believe that.

I chose the quote by Hafiz for a very important reason. This quote means a lot to me and holds a very special place in my heart. When I was in the hospital the first day I was there we had to cut up quotes that we thought were nice and put them somewhere where we will always see them. I chose that quote because it sparked a smile inside me and will forever keep that spark burning.

The final quote I chose was, "Destroy what destroys you." My parents constantly tell me to do that. I need to destroy my horrid body image and realize I'm beautiful. Everyone has something they need to destroy, here is your reminder. You and I are strong, we can destroy anything that tries holding us back no matter what the circumstance may be.
