A is for Asymmetry
Asymmetry A*sym"me*try, n. [Gr. ?; 'a priv. + ? symmetry.]

1. Want of symmetry, or proportion between the parts of a thing, esp. want of bilateral symmetry.

2. (Math.) Incommensurability. [Obs.] --Barrow.

Nature is asymmetrical, and I love it that way. I love that lack of perfection, like the Japanese potters who purposely throw tea bowls off-center--it's a wonderful aesthetic.

My body is asymmetrical, and I love it that way. One boob is bigger than the other, my right arm has a way biger bicep muscle, my eyes are a little crooked... I think it all combines into the gorgeous and terrifying package that is me.

I enhance my asymmetry. I know some people who when they get body modifications do the same thing on each side so that they have this imagined balance. I have eight piercings in my left ear, but only six in my right. Two piercings in my left nostirl, and one in my right. I had only one nipple pierced. I have one outer labia ring, and my inner labia are pierced five time, not six.

This is my aesthetic, and I think it is beautiful.
