Mental Health ~ Perfection?

 What is perfection? 

Perfection can mean something different to everyone, some people believe that they are perfect and that everything is perfect while others believe that perfection is a myth.

You-tuber and social media influencer Inanna Sarkis, creates videos around mental health and perfection was one of the topics that she had based a video on. The video is called 'Am I Perfect?' In this video Inanna plays a character who doesn't like her body and wants to change how she looks and be different. However in doing so she learns that she loved who she was before and hates who she has become and wishes to turn back time. Inanna's character is able to change her appearance after being provided with the power to change her appearance after being electrocuted buy her phone while using a photo shopping app after a thunder storm strikes her house.

Inanna ends the video with a variety of different but yet powerful quotes and images as well as her own opinion on perfection. 

'Sometimes we have to be remind ourselves that its ok not to be perfect. How do you measure perfection anyway, is it based on our weight or our height, the size of our lips or how small our waist can be. I think perfection is a myth..... and we shouldn't have to measure up to media features, because we're all perfect in our own way.'

The way Inanna ended the video is not only powerful but also sends out a powerful message to everyone from every gender, ethnicity, age and religion. This can change the views of so many different people around the world, by using the site, YouTube the video is now available and able to be seen and viewed and shared world wide.

I agree with the message Inanna stated at the end of her video and it has actually stuck with me and has become a process and part of my mental health and a way for me to finally realise that I am perfect in my own way and no one can change that.
