What and who is this so called perfect girl/guy?
Each day we are
surrounded by pictures, videos and advertisements of what the ideal us should
really be.... and that’s something I have a major problem with. I know the
beauty and fashion industry have to survive that way but do they really need to
display on going images of an unrealistic perception of beauty.
Lately I find myself
judging every part of my face and body. My face has acne scars so I cover them
up with makeup. My bums not big enough so I must start doing more squats not to mention the cellulite on my legs, my
boobs aren’t big enough therefore I must wear a certain bra to make them look
better, my hair is not perfect so I must spend a good hour trying to make it
look somewhat Instagram-able, My skin isn’t as tanned as I would like it to be
so I cover up my natural skin tone to make myself look and feel better.
And what’s wrong with
all this?
Everything ….
Girls and Guys have
to conform each day to a certain idealistic beauty regime. And if not it’s
mostly frowned upon and judged. Trying to keep up with all the latest trends
and having the newest products on the market and trying to look a certain way starts to take a toll on you after
a while! There is no point sacrificing your true self, to gain acceptance off
others! All you end up doing is losing your individuality and in a few years
time when you need that individuality in a certain career, course or life it will be
very hard to reclaim after years of masking it with replications of other
people’s looks.
Its time to start
loving and accepting who you are and who you’ve become! I know it can be hard
to keep off this idealistic path but at the end of the day instead of following
this path, why not create your own!One of my goals for the rest of 2018 and for the next few years is to start loving myself more.
It’s time to start believing in my abilities and creativity. I’ve spent too
long bottling it up. At nearly twenty three years of age when I’m finally at a stage
where I know who I am, even if I don’t know what career or life path I am
taking yet, I still know who I am as a person.

| FOUND THE PERFECT QUOTE |
I decided I would do my first workout today and let me tell you I was out of breath in minutes, which was really weird to me as I have been fit for all my teen years. I have let my body down a lot lately, finding out that my cholesterol is crazy high for my age, something that could have a very negative effect on my health.
