I feel women have so many standards to live up to in today’s society. We are ALWAYS seeing these women in magazines and movie stars with their perfect bodies and clear skin with such beautiful hair that seems to never be messed up. The reality of all this is these expectations we put on ourselves are nearly impossible to accomplish.
Young girls go through some pretty extreme measures to try and look like the people we see on t.v or in magazines. Either by anorexia or drugs sometimes more. Most of the time their parents have no idea what is going on or that their daughter needs help. They don’t know she is slowly killing herself behind closed doors.
We have got to put a stop to the stereotypical ways a woman is supposed to look, dress, act, etc. We have to teach our daughters, sisters, nieces, cousins that it is perfectly fine to be themselves! That they’re perfect even if they don’t look like the girl on the front of their favorite magazine. That it’s okay to be different. They’ve got to know to express yourself the way you are, don’t try to be somebody you’re not to fit in or try and make someone like you.
Everyone is different and unique in their own special ways and we should embrace this. We should show the world the real us, not the front we’ve always put on. It’s time to make a change in the way we see women! We are not some “damsel in distress” that always needs to be rescued, we are strong independent women, we are warriors! When we finally start seeing ourselves this way and gaining confidence in ourselves, the world will too!
So, make today the day you stop living for the world and start living for you!
