Love yourself!
Beauty is all in the eyes of the beholder. Our modern day society has made not only women extremely insecure, but also men. Our society emphasizes skinny beauty rather than women of all shapes and sizes. To be accepted or be considered beautiful in this society you need to have a certain look and be a certain size. The girls in magazines all have similar features, where is the uniqueness in our women today? Young girls are facing insecurities much sooner than they should, why are 8 year old girls wearing makeup instead of running around getting dirty from playing outside? Women that are larger sizes typically are frowned upon or not considered beautiful because society has made people think that thick is not beautiful. Marilyn Monroe was a very iconic lady she was considered beautiful and a sex symbol. Marilyn was not extremely skinny, she was a thick women that had big hips and men loved that back in the days because big hips meant better for child bearing. I'm not sure when times changed to make people think that a specific size or shape was beautiful but, I hope that society goes back to having a time when everyone is accepted as beautiful and no one is judged based off of their appearance. As stated before beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, everyone is considered beautiful in their way. Love yourself and stop worrying about other peoples opinions.

ReplyDeleteThis post was so powerful Emoni, i loved it! I can't wait to read your future posts. I know I'm going to love them being an advocate for social justice, and even self-love.
ReplyDeleteI love this blog! Is completely different form the others and really motivational. It emphasizes on the importance of self love and how we as a society are wrong many times. Thank you and keep on writing! :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with this post. Today's society is extremely judge mental not only for looks but also for the way that you act. If you don't act like everyone else you won't be considered normal.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest one's motivation for looking good or acting a certain way should be intrinsic. If you're intimidated by ostracization than more often than not you'll gravitate to societal norms to feel accepted. I did that and I feel fine. But there's an idea ingraned into our social construct that says we should bully the odd one out (especially children) because they don't fit in our frame of reference. It's good that
ReplyDeleteyou've taken it upon yourself to tell others that beauty isn't skin deep. Same pictures with a different frame, ya know?
