This expert tells me I need to wear makeup
in order to be attractive to others.
This expert tells me my wardrobe is out of fashion.
This expert tells me I need to lose weight
in order to be happier.
This expert tells me I need to cover up the grey in my hair.
This expert and this expert and this expert….
The only expert I truly need to listen to is the one that listens to my friends.
For when they tell me I am beautiful just as I am
it makes that voice inside me that says I am enough,
content.
Well, I also listen to my doctor because her advice is based on sound scientific education.
