i got the bg of this site from blogskins.com.. i like it cause it looks so girly which is so me and it’s color black, which from what i know is more eco friendly.. but i was really reluctant to download it cause it was titled “lost in beauty” which really doesn’t mean anything to me.. it got me thinking though, what is beauty for me??
i know some of the girls my age tend to be so concerned or worse brag about how pretty their faces are, how attractive their bodies are, how cute are the clothes they wear, etc. and unfortunately, i was once like that.. can u blame us?? in every magazine or in every tv program they show us their definition of what’s beautiful.. Great hair, slim body, clear skin, nice clothes, and who doesn’t want to have that?? truth is, everybody has one or two of the criteria created for us that identifies who’s beautiful and who’s not, but we can’t have it all.. everybody has flaws.. yes, even those goddess-looking models have flaws and insecurities.. and if we are not contented with what we have we tend to look at the other girls who seem to have it all and be envious..
it’s a shame that somehow women (or even men) are measured by their physical attributes.. it’s easy to detect who has the less self-esteem and fall into the trap of going along with the norms.. these are the people who constantly feel the urge to prove themselves to others.. but hey, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to look good and presentable.. as long as we don’t forget that who we are can never be confined in the description of how we look or what we wear.. i hope girls like me would never allow anyone or anything tell them how much their worth is based on other’s perspective.. what really counts is the way we feel about ourselves.. what matters the most is the person under all the fabulous clothes and make-up.. there is always more in a person beyond his/her looks.. having said that, may we never get lost in beauty..
p.s. i just have thought id have to put my two cents in.. nevertheless, obviously im keeping the bg.. ahaha.. it's cute anyways..
