When did we become so obsessed with being perfect? It's important that you know you are already perfect. It's all out imperfections that make us perfect and anyway who decides whether we are 'perfect'. In my eyes perfect is boring and is there even such a things as perfect. During puberty a girls confidence plummets. But why? .. We're told that we're not pretty, we're not thin, we're not smart, we can't play that sport cause we're a girl .. Whatever the case, we are made to feel inferior. It's silly! Imagine how many industries would go out of business if women woke up and decided they loved themselves. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with wearing make up and workout or whatever, cause let's face it, I enjoy wearing nice clothes and make up as much as the next person. I just want you to know you don't need these things to be beautiful. You're beautiful without all that stuff. Be you and do it well. There is absolutely nothing wrong with who you are. If you don't enjoy wearing make up, that's fine, if you enjoy wearing make up, that's fine. If you enjoy being fit and healthy, that's fine, if you enjoying eating and watching television, that's fine. It's all fine and it's all beautiful. No one plays the role of God and determines who is and isn't beautiful. Everyone has beauty just not everyone sees it.
I know it can be hard. I'm still trying to love myself and it's okay to not love yourself right now, but hopefully you will get there and if you need help we're always here for you. Cause you are beautiful and there's no reason for you to think otherwise. I wanted to touch on this topic cause it's beauty is such a huge part of our social world and it makes many of us feel like we're not good enough. You probably don't know but I study Marketing and Public Relations at university and I'm currently doing my assignment on Dove's PR campaign and came across these videos I wanted to share... We may feel like we don't measure up but if you knew the truth behind photos, maybe you feel different.
It's crazy to think just how much editing goes behind all those photos we see in the media and what's even more crazy is that this is the 'perfection' we are attempting to achieve. One that is almost physically impossible to obtain. One of the most beautiful things a women can possess is confidence. This is something that will develop as you get older and it will differ for each person. Find what makes you confident and do it. Don't let anyone stop you. Confidence isn't something we are all born with but it's something we can all obtain. Someone people feel more confident with make up some people don't. Some people feel more confident in a dress and other choose jeans and t shirt. Whatever makes you feel comfortable and confident in yourself .. that's Perfect!
Please take a look at this video below.. I love it!!
