No matter how you define it, what you believe in it defines your own beauty.
all
women in this planet are BEAUTIFUL. No more appeal about that. We have
our own differences that make us who we are, that makes us beautiful.

How
would you define BEAUTY?BEAUTIFUL? Some says it is associated with
words like sexy, flawless skin, slim waist, curvy hips, long silk hair,
killer smile, and the list goes on. We have our own share of quotable
quotes about it, like "beauty is skin deep", "beauty is in the eyes of
the beholder", and many more. We even came to a point to battle and take
sides which is true about beauty- BLACK OR WHITE, THIN OR BIG... but
none of these completely defines BEAUTY. It's undefinable. We can give
our own views and opinions but it all boils down to a point that, WE ARE
ALL BEAUTIFUL.
In
a recent TED Talk done by the supermodel Cameron Russel, who already
been a regular face of Vogue magazine, she admits that even supermodels
does have insecurities just like normal women have. This may sound a
joke, but after reading her interview article, it all explains why she feels that way.
"I
am insecure. Because I have to think about what I look like every day.
If you ever are wondering, 'If I have thinner thighs and shinier hair
will I be happier?' you just need to meet a group of models because they
have the thinnest thighs and the shiniest hair and the coolest clothes
and they're the most physically insecure women on the planet."
It
is a norm already, or should I say part of our culture to associate
BEAUTY with words like: sexy, thin, slim, white, tall, killer smile-
with simply saying that BEAUTY IS BEING SKINNY. Circling the idea that
being beautiful is being thin, if you're not then you're ugly. We look
up to models and even have our own "thinspirations" leaving
ourselves humiliated by our own disgrace with our bodies. Such an irony,
but true.
"When
a woman is valued primarily for her physical appearance, it can be easy
for her to believe that her beauty is her only form of currency. If
looks are the focus of a woman's day, they will inevitably occupy most
of her thoughts and drive her fears. "
The
media dictates what we believe and sad that we just follow what we
usually see. Thin models are everywhere and that's why we're on it. Our
eyeballs are up on them that we wanted to be like them no matter what,
even if it takes pain and a lot of risks.
At
the present time, we are wishing for more women who would wake up one
day seeing herself beautiful regardless of the trends, and what she
sees. Hoping that there would be more women who would love themselves
before any models. Beauty is not about the battle of the THINS and the
CURVIES, nor the BLACKS and the WHITES. We wanted to include ourselves
on the definition of beauty, we are chasing after the idea of it that we
forget, that BEAUTY is after all, undefinable- why worry thinking what
it really conveys, when it simply points on... YOU.
All women are BEAUTIFUL.
