Who decided what beauty is supposed to look like? For too long, it’s been dictated by trends, expectations, and impossible standards that leave so many of us feeling like we’ll never measure up.

But here’s the truth…

We’ve all heard the word "flaw" tossed around, often with a negative connotation. It’s the thing we’re supposed to hide or change in order to meet an elusive standard of "perfection." But what if flaws were never meant to be fixed? What if they were always supposed to be celebrated as part of who we are?

Let’s take a step back and rethink the way we view imperfections. The truth is, what society often calls a “flaw” is just an integral piece of our unique individuality—our quirks, our traits, our experiences, and everything that makes us distinct.

We live in a world that constantly tells us to edit, filter, and present only the most polished versions of ourselves. From social media to the mirror, we’ve been taught to smooth out the edges, hide imperfections, and fit into a mold that often isn’t even ours to begin with. But what if we didn’t?

And while that message can be powerful, it can also feel… exhausting. What if you don’t love your body today? What if self-love feels out of reach?

That’s where body neutrality comes in.
