I can't seem to concentrate on studying at the moment. I have been at it for a few hours now and needed a quick break before going back and hitting the books... my brain hurts from all the studying I've been doing the past few days... so I decided to write a quick blog...
The past few days I have been thinking a lot about how the media portrays what "beautiful" people are supposed to look like versus how beauty should really be measured by. You look everywhere and for women it is no wonder we are always complaining about how we look... sometimes it is so easy to get caught up in what victoria secrets models look like and so forth and so on that we tend to forget just how fake the commercials and magazine pictures are... People do not even look like that at all. People place the bar so high on "beauty" that no one, not even the models that they photograph, can reach it. The pictures are always digitally redone... it is kinda crazy.... I found this video below that shows just how fake advertising is for women... not only women, but for men also. It all is just fake and then makes everyone put themselves down... focus on the "bad" parts of how we look then the most important parts that make up who we are...
Knowing how fake it all is... we have to remember that truly does come from the inside. It is not something that I can explain per say. I think that beauty has to first begin with believing that your are beautiful. Once you believe that then you start to act in ways that add to your already natural beauty... A friend once said that he didn't understand why girls say thank-you when they are told they are beautiful... because being beautiful is just a fact of life. God made each and every person, and He did not make one ugly person... He made us in His image, and if we are made in His image then it is really a fact that we are all beautiful, no matter what the media tries to tell us... So yeah. That's where my mind has been the past few days... So now back to the books....
