Growing up we had perfect barbie in all her skinny glory. Perfect skin, great hair, no cellulite or protuding belly. She had no blemish or scar like eep in the Croods. She was that perfect girl that got the most handsome princes and even ken with one smile. On the tv, there were replicas everywhere, with the perfect tan, shape, perky blonde with the cutest lips.
If you didn't fall into that category you did everything to, ran miles every morning, wore more breast pads, snuggled into the skinniest jeans to project that image. A lot of us got desperate , sad and low self esteem was the next big thing. Those who gave up became the frog of the class or the sore thumb.
But what really is beauty? Beauty is being confident in all that makes you who you are. You are big, short,acne, lots of cellulite, more flesh behind you or hair color like mud, you are still beautiful. Beauty isn't just a shade but a million shades, yellow, black, pink, brown , we should learn to appreciate and take pride in it. Because beauty isn't about what people think of you but what you think of yourself and what makes you happy.
You are beautiful as you are!
