( Beauty standards,Do we really need them??)

In this generation of Social media ,some definitions of being beautiful had been defined for us .

And even though we have eyes, we all are blind .

Blind, who can’t see the trap of beautifulness.

Blind,who can’t see the beauty which already exists in him /her .

Blind ,who judge everyone on the scale of beauty which is given by social media . Yes we all are blind.

The thing is everyone is pretty . I said pretty . Yes I said pretty and i didn’t said beautiful.

You know we had a teacher who used tell there is a huge difference between being pretty and being beautiful.

Cause preetiness comes with accepting yourself the way you are without makeup,without any surgery , without being anxious about your facial features, and knowing that you are pretty in your own way . No one can deny that you are a pretty lady or a pretty man.Here at this stage you don’t need any compliments, you don’t need any surgeries , you don’t need any scale to measure how beautiful you are , you don’t need anybody else’s opinion about you .

And being beautiful comes with a constant fear of not fitting in the so called beauty standards that could be a fair complexion , straight nose , sharp jawline ,clean and clear face , acne free skin .etc.

The thing is just that ,

‘Perfection is a myth , just be real !!’

So, my dear Reader,

instead of being beautiful, be pretty.

Yes ,you are pretty with your brown or black complexion.

Yes, you are pretty with your fat or flat nose.

Yes ,you are pretty with all your acne and pimples (pimples are just the beauty spots btw ).

Yes, you are pretty with your thick eyebrows and facial hairs.

And if you can see yourself as a pretty person, every person becomes pretty around you.

Who are they to define the beauty standards for us?? and why are we even relying on those?? When our face is the combination of hundreds of generations of people who fell in love , then why we even need a second opinion to love ourselves the way we are ??

The people who had the ability to live that stage of solitudeness would be getting the answers to the questions of life and much more .

But the problem is even though we crave for the solitudeness we simply can’t live it , may be cause our environment in which we grown up doesn’t allow us to do that or the habit of being surrounded by the people could be the reason.

Let me know what are your thoughts about it.
