I swear to sweet baby jesus in his manger, if I hear this one more time I will genuinely send someone to the afterlife. I cannot stress the disgust I feel when someone dares utter those words.
Stretchmarks are beautiful, be proud of the stripes you bear and the scars you've gained. They tell a story of your life, they show that you've gone through battles and tough spots and walked through fire. They're the marks of a warrior, a fighter, a survivor. They're a sign that you're a tough one, you've made it this far and you'll make it further.
Time and time again I've heard people call them "ugly" and "nasty" and "gross" and "unnattractive" and every unkind snipe under the sun. They're intent on being society's view of perfect. They want this flawless skin, that flawless body, someone elses flawless life, but what they fail to realise is that these imperfections are the things that make your body perfect for YOU. You only have one body, love it, all of it. Wear your scars and hairs and dimples and cellulites and moles and freckles and birthmarks and STRETCHMARKS with pride. Flaunt those tiger stripes, or lightening bolts or warrior marks with your head held high. They are yours. They make you, you. You are special. You are wonderful. You are beautiful.
And you should love your imperfections, for a perfect world would be a lifeless one.
Perfect is boring. Imperfect is wondrous. Stand tall and tell others of your imperfections.
You're imperfect and yet you're perfectly you.

I always tell my SO that I love his imperfections, because they are beautiful and they are a part of him. They prove that he is natural, and to me the most beautiful people are the ones who look natural, and don't try to hide or correct physical imperfections.
