1147 || beauty is in the eye of the beholder

The world operates on a profit model that often thrives on human misery. From the moment we enter this world, we're bombarded with messages insinuating that our self-worth is intricately tied to material possessions, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, therapy, and a shitstorm of other products and services promising to alleviate our discontent.

As author and activist Audre Lorde once said, "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare." Recognizing that true liberation begins with reclaiming ownership of our self-worth and embracing our inherent value as human beings.
