Every day we see the good things that have to do with having the so called perfect body‚ personality‚ or even having perfect skin‚ like Georgiana. First off‚ Georgiana would never have seen the “imperfection” of her birthmark had it not been for other people tearing her down about it‚ and second off‚ perfection itself is relative.
