Beauty standards.

What is beauty? I mean physical beauty. I have my own opinion on the question. To me Beauty is what the eye sees and the brain finds attractive. Beauty might vary from individual to another. But it is a matter of how you feel inside. When you feel beautiful, the world can see the beauty you carry.
But today, society sets up the standards of beauty. A woman needs to be skinny but with big breast and big derrière. What's up with that? Now women everywhere are so desperate to fit in that they are getting any type of surgery at their lives' risks. Curves are back but not the natural curves! You have to have your breast and behind twice bigger than your waist.  So many celebrities such as Nicky Menage, Kim Kardashian, and many more are so redone to just make it to the fame. But what about the common woman who can't afford this type of adjustment?
What about models who deprave themselves for their careers?!! These girls have so many tricks just to keep their skins on their bones. Throwing up, or even eating cotton balls! But once again, society sets up the standards. We will never be happy with what God gave us! Even if we like it society will tell you what they think and will treat you only according to what they perceive not what they know about you. So sad!
All those thoughts come more and more to me these days. I have my own battles. But I try to be happy with what I got. There is a song from Beyoncé's new album that I love. It's called " pretty hurts".  If you listened to it you'll know what I'm talking about if not, check it out! I love the lyrics and the melody. I hope it will reach many girls to help them realizing that it doesn't worth it. There will always have the next cute girl, you are just the girl of the moment. Think about what your life could be if you wear your beauty on your own terms. People won't have any choice but fallow your idea of you not you fallowing their idea of you. We should not be suffering to please others.  "It's the soul that needs surgery". Pretty should not hurt!!

  1. I agree with you Beverly. Beauty should be look in your inside not the outside because the what you have inside define you as a person. The outside is always changing and can be modify.

  2. So very true...without internal beauty, there is no external beauty.
