Beauty comes in ALL shapes, shades, and sizes, yet society makes you feel like it doesn’t. I believe that beauty goes beyond what the eyes may see. Why does society make women feel less beautiful if they are too slim or if they are too thick?
Okay I get it, everyone have their own physical preference but that doesn’t mean you should make someone feel less beautiful just because they don’t meet your standards. I think one of the most beautiful things about women is that they are created so uniquely different than one another. I think the different shapes, shades and sizes makes women different from one another.
I remember being in high school and being told by several guys, “you are pretty but you are too skinny for me.” Mind you, you would think muscular guys were making this statement, but nope, it was slim guys saying this to me. In addition, I remember liking a guy who said “I need a woman with some meat on her bones."
Growing up hearing this constantly made me question how beautiful I was because I was always “beautiful” but not beautiful enough because I was “too skinny.” Despite the negative comments I have heard growing up, I have chosen to be FREE from society expectations of what beauty is.
For every woman that may read this please embrace who you are, embrace your uniqueness and what makes YOU beautiful. You were not created to look like anyone else’s and that is okay because YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL JUST THE WAY YOU ARE. Do not let society make you feel uncomfortable in your own skin and in your own shape. Instead make it notice how beautiful you are by embracing yourself and not allowing their perception of beauty define who you see in the mirror.
In addition, if you are interested in a guy and if he doesn’t see how valuable you are just because you don’t fit his physical type, don’t waste your time trying to convince him why he should choose you. If he doesn’t see the beauty within you then he doesn’t deserve to be a part of your life. Before asking a man to choose you, you have to may sure that YOU CHOOSE YOU as well. Before asking a man to love you make sure that you love yourself first. The way a man treats you starts and ends with you.
Please learn to accept yourself and accept your shape for what it is, because if you don’t then who will. You have to know that you are beautiful without any man telling you that you are beautiful. You have to know that you are worth it before a man tells you that you are worth it. You have to embrace who you are before requesting for someone else to embrace and accept you for who you are. You are beautiful, you are worth it, you are amazing and you are awesome. I don’t care how slim you are or how thick you are, how light you are or how dark you are, YOU ARE BEAUITFUL.
