This post is pretty much relatable to every one because it’s specifically targetting the fact that every one has insecurities. Though a lot of younger generations might think that the older you get, the less insecure you’ll be, I find that statement untrue because I still know a handful of older women and men who are still equally or somewhat insecure whether it’s about their looks or personality. Insecurity will always follow us, in my opinion because humans need to feel like they belong and if they don’t, they start to question themselves if they are good enough or pretty enough or masculine enough. It’s a never-ending cycle and all because social media has a major influence on the modern society. Social media and the marketing choices of advertisements are the sole reasons for insecurities to rise within younger generations. I think most people fail to understand that the more time that younger generations spend on social media, the more insecure they will be because they are exposed to all ads telling them to “look” a certain way, or even “be” a certain way. These younger folks might have a difficult time “finding” their true self because they are all so influenced with what a person should look like from social media today.

This right here is so unbelievably beautiful, for a woman that is constantly being bashed on for being “not good enough” is just makes me speechless. Makes me think of how badly women suffer for several things that society shows everyone this fake version of women and make real woman look like they are not close to being beautiful. Women these days have so many different self esteem issues just because they look at themselves as “fat, too big, ugly this, ugly that,” always focusing on where their flaws are instead of looking around them and actually accepting the fact that you were born like that as gorgeous as you could ever be, every woman is beautiful in different ways and different areas, just accept it. But having the society constantly having to categorize “what is beautiful” in their eyes makes us be brainwashed of what truly is which is having to be comfortable in your own skin.

I really enjoyed this post and I feel very strongly on the issues that come from the superficial image women are supposed to portray. Everyday women are bombarded with messages on how they are supposed to look and act and men especially hold women to these unrealistic standards. Because of this, girls of all ages turn to unhealthy ways of getting this ideal image such as eating disorders and plastic surgery. These standards that women are supposed to live up to not only effect their physical being but also their mental and emotional being. More and more girls are depressed and have body dysmorphic disorder. I had a friend who suffered from BDD and tried everything in her power to look better. She eventually had to be hospitalized due to anorexia. It’s really sad when people take such drastic measure to live up to something that no one ever will. Not even the models who they try to look like really look the way they do in magazines or on billboards. But really who’s to say what is beautiful and what isn’t? Nobody does. Nobody’s perfect and no women or man should ever feel as though they are less than anything because they don’t look a certain way. Beauty is socially constructed. What constitutes as beautiful has changed throughout history and will continue to change which is why nobody should expect anybody else to live up to something so unsteady. Everyone is important and beautiful and needed and nobody should ever feel less than.

I love this blog in many ways because Ive actually experinced this and had people tell me that im not pretty nor do i have a nice body like “such and such”. But at the end of the day, I have realized on my own that I am not less than anything in this world unless me,myself and I actually come to believe that. I dont think anyone is less than anything or anybody. One day somebody will love you for you and all the flaws you endure. You dont have to change for anybody.

This filled my eyes with tears I could barley see what I’m writing, it was written with so much compassion for her to write with such choice words. If this were to be mine it would of been this beep, beep, beep guy. I think if every one found themselves a true love, someone that they could not live with out there would be less judgments about physical bodies going around about how imperfect our individual bodies are. Such a sweet blog thank you for being so brave to share .
