I long for more.

For beauty.

For love.

For perfect.

you see

I've been told

for a very long time

that perfect is

just unrealistic

but I dont think it is.

We see people

on the internet

and think of them

as such

and in that one moment

that one photo

or video

they are

perfect

so

perfection is possible

it's just temporary.
