What you see on social media or television is not reality.
Filters, makeup, lighting, and Photoshop create an illusion of reality. Cindy Crawford famously said, "I wish I looked like Cindy Crawford."
Instead of trying to morph into a fake, construed image – define your beauty. Find what makes you you and embrace it! You don't need to be like everyone else. How boring would life be if everyone was the same?
Yet, it might take a hot second for you to feel comfortable doing this.

Commit a few moments to take inventory of your attributes, talents, and positives. Allow it to ignite your self-worth and confidence. Trust you are exactly who you are meant to be.
And then carry your imperfections with style. We all have them – own them and make them a part of who you are! In the words of Audrey Hepburn, "Happy girls are the prettiest girls," so stick on a smile and let your imperfections shine.
