To all my faithful followers - I love you guys so much! Yeah it's been a while since i've posted but I finally found my blogging camera and that means I can start posting more haha. Okay so..let's talk about beauty. No, not the Disney Princess - despite the fact that I used her picture for this post - I want to talk about the actual quality. What is beauty? If you asked someone else, what would they say beauty is? There are two types of ways to see it - inner or outer beauty. Let's start with outer beauty.
Outer beauty. What do most people think about when you ask them what makes a girl or guy beautiful/ handsome? For a guy, well he has to have nice hair, nice facial features, dress nicely, look fit and have a slick charm. When asked about good looking male celebrities, many girls used Chaning Tatum, Zac Efron and Nick Jonas as examples. What about girls? Oh boy. I'm not trying to make it seem like a big struggle but girls don't have it that easy. With everything circulating the internet about a girl's ideal body and face, many girls face the burden of "perfecting" themselves. One of the most iconic examples of today's "perfect" women are Kim Kardashian, Beyonce , Jennifer Lopez and now Kylie Jenner. Many praise their looks and wish they could also look like them.I'm going to point fingers to a lot of modern- day rappers and guys... they like to reinforce that thought. They praise women who have big curves, and an artificial face. No, not all guys are like that, I'm acknowledging that too, shoutout to you guys that aren't like that :). |
But these are facts of today's world. Girls now tend to cover their face with makeup , contouring and attempting to make their face look different. They even go to the extent of getting surgery done. Before I go further, I would like to also say that yes, some girls do these things to feel good about themselves and not for others. I'm not shaming those people. I'm reaching out to the people who do these things to impress people around them. Okay, so once these girls transform themselves all of a sudden all these guys are on them and they gain their self- esteem from that. Girls, you don't have to stoop down to that level. You don't have to wait for a guy to call you beautiful or hot to feel good about yourself. You can't always wait around to get compliments. You need to tell yourself that YOU are beautiful and that NO ONE can tell you otherwise. This is where I come in with the inner beauty stuff. Beauty comes from the inside. I'm sure we've all heard that before. But have you actually listened and understood those words? |
To have inner beauty is to be kind, happy and caring, just to name some characteristics. Helping out your best friend when she's feeling down, doing good for the community, helping around the house, or giving back to others. That's inner beauty. Being able to bring joy into someone else's life, and putting theirs above yours. That is the kind of thing no one thinks about when the word "beauty" is spoken. Insulting people, gossiping about them, bullying others... that is pure ugliness. Only thinking about yourself can hurt people around you, and most people don't realize this. They think that looking great will get them places. It could get you fame and wealth, but it won't get you love or true happiness. I can't tell you how many people I've seen like that around me. They could be the most perfect looking person ever, but once I try speaking to them, I feel like i'm talking to a shell. There's nothing inside of them, no kindness, nothing. Outer beauty can only cover so much. So guys, I want you to take a moment and think about everything I just said. I want you guys to put down that magazine cover of Kylie and tell yourselves that you are beautiful in every way. Don't wait for anyone to tell you that. Be your own fan. ~ Sin
