The song “Scars to your beautiful” written by Alessia Cara‚ sends out a message to women growing up with societies rigid beauty standards to love them selves. This song gives me a feeling of disgust as it revealed to me how disturbing society’s expectations are‚ targeting vulnerable young women and making them feel as though they are not enough.
