Imperfection

"Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring & when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them."
-Marilyn Monroe

This quote's meaning is that if you follow the crowd and try to be like everyone else, you might fit in but you will soon lose yourself, your individuality will be lost and you'll be like everyone else. Be yourself, even if it has to do with being unique, unusual, an outcast, or even hated is better than becoming like everyone else. Rather than a girl who styles her hair for hours to look perfect vs. a girl who just wakes up and goes is more beautiful and more perfect than the other girl. Also if a person is just all over the place and just crazy is basically pure genius. Rather than being like every body else, it's better to be made fun of because you're your true self, an individual, a person who doesn't look the same as the person next to them. It says that if a person who wakes up every morning to put on make till they think its perfect and fix their hair to perfection sees a person who is different, who's hair just blows in the wind and has the wind blowing in her face without a trace of make up and talks about them and judges them by how they look, it means that the different person is even more better and more prettier than the other person. Normal people surrounded with beauty aren't the guidelines to what is truly beautiful. Definable things are not beautiful it's the situations, people, and ideas. This quote means a lot to me, I read it when I was in 6th grade and I tried to live by it especially since I entered high school. Even though I see people who have make up that looks like it took like 10 hours and hair dos that look like it took 100 hours, people like that all look the same to me. I wake up everyday, letting my hair do what it wants and not dare to do what makes me look like everyone in the crowd. Rather than acting like everyone at school, I try my best to be myself, I don't let people look down on me because of how I act or how I speak because this is me. I set myself out of the crowd, I don't hang out with people who will make me become like everyone else. Pretty much if you're imperfect you're beautiful, if you are crazy, you're a genius and it's better to be crazy and different than absolutely boring.
