Love Yourself....why not?

I thought a lot about the words: Inner Beauty and what that meant to me. As a woman society has programmed our minds to believe we should be a size 0 and have a perfect symmetrical face, and have those perfect white teeth and have no flaws, but in reality life is quite different. Not all of us are born that way, you might have a more defined nose or crooked teeth or be a size 12, and that is by no means a bad thing we are all different and different looks and sizes, the focus is on loving yourself for you are and being able to look in the mirror everyday and be happy with you are and what you see. I went to the grocery store yesterday and I couldnt help but be disgusted with the magazine headlines I was seeing. Everything was focusing on these perfect supermodels and actresses, theres nothing out there on Glamour and Cosmopolitan that says be happy with yourself its not about loosing the weight but about getting healthy. I have seen some magazines talk about 'inner beauty" but when you put perfect models on the cover than what are you saying? why not put a plus size model on the cover and show women thats okay. I researched some definitions of what beauty was and came across this piece from Wikipedia: Beauty is studied as part of aesthetics, sociology, social psychology, and culture. An "ideal beauty" is an entity which is admired, or possesses features widely attributed to beauty in a particular culture, for perfection.^{[citation needed].}

^{So is Beauty striking for perfection? Is that how we as women want to live our lives always feeling inhumanely not good enough for society .}Perhaps one day we as a society can change our minds about the relevance of appearance, rather than feeling the need to change our bodies focusing on the need to love ourselves for who we are no matter what we look like :)

One of My Favorite Quotes “Happiness is the most attractive accessory a young woman can have.” If you have low self esteem or confidence issues the best thing you can do is look in front of the mirror everyday and just stand tall and say "im excepting of myself and happy with who I am" I've also found that writing on a post-it everyday three things you really admire about yourself will boost your self-esteem and see the great attributes you carry, and smile always smile even if you have to fake it until you make it as a good friend once told me DO IT!!  A smile is truly BEAUTIFUL as it is so radiating in a totally natural way so smile everyday and you will be surprised at how many people will see that hapiness come out of you. You will FEEL beautiful and your INNER Beauty will shine through, and as my grandma used to tell me: Be nice to everybody! Forgive! Forgiveness and compassion are the root of all good things. We all have the power to forgive a person, what they do to us personally and in letting go of past hurts, we let go of a powerful and negative hold that damages our inner beauty. Be ready to let go and think good of others. So ladies Be Graceful and Classy and Love Yourself Forever!!!!!!
