A kind reminder that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

You ever see that top most beautiful girl in school, work or on the street? She might be what 99% of those of the same sexual orientation may find attractive, but I can guarantee that at least 1% of the same group does not find her remotely attractive. And there is no reason for that, it’s just the way we are. 

All our lives we try to fit the social norms of what we should look like, how we should dress and act. Some of these norms require money, time and effort and some of us just don’t have that. We want to feel beautiful and loved but can’t be bothered to do that required tasks. And quite frankly, why should we? Why do we think we are not beautiful when we don’t have 10 layers of makeup, the latest fashion designs eat only a bowl of lettuce on the daily? The truth is we are, society has just made us believe that we are.

We are constantly blasted with high fashion, high lifestyles and top beauties of celebrities, but what they don’t disclose is the hours taken to end up looking like that, whether it’s the time at the gym with their personal trainers and nutritionists or, the hours on the makeup room or even the time on the surgical table.  

We are beautiful creatures no matter what anybody says, and we don’t have to live up to the standards of anybody and what they want to say about us is not important. We are loved my many people whether we fit their standards or not. Even the way we can sometimes rate ourselves on low days, we do still fit many people’s standards, not that that should be of any concern to us.

Enjoying life, working hard every day to further our enjoyment should be our priorities. It seems like social media, dating apps and so on want us to continuously rank our worth based on our looks, the prettier you are, the more attention you get. This isn’t all life is about. 

Have a look at your social media pages, those with talent, personalities, interests in their activities and just pure hearts, they are not so focused on their looks, why? Because they can still draw people in with the things mentioned previously that they possess. Looks aren’t everything. 

If you are tall, slim, and drop dead gorgeous, good for you, society loves you, and if you think you don’t match those criteria, good for you also, society loves you.
