today's Thursday, its raining and dreadful but i remembered i have to write my blog. i cant say hey i don't want to write today but i remembered i made the commitment and when you make a commitment you should stick to it. so of course I'm trying to stick to my commitment, and be a good blogger. its hard i get sucked into my daily life and i often write these blogs on the fly (again big surprise I'm sitting in English writing this blog) i feel bad because i honestly do have pre planned things to write about yet i run out of time and do them the day of. okay enough my apologies and love (because i do love you all) time for today's post.
i was in psychology today and we were talking about women and our body image, how were objectified and how we ourselves seem to objectify ourselves. I'm not gonna lie i got a little angry, the standard that the world or rather America holds for how we as women must look really pisses me off. no ones perfect and every single woman no matter who you are or where you are is beautiful and special and wonderful no matter what. why (and i cant lie i often get picked up in this standard and hum drum of what we must look like, stupid society) why does it seem that we as young women and girls are we have to be put though this sort of jerk and pull of "we want equality we don't want to be objectified, were beautiful, amazing, smart, strong" to then be put down and knocked on our butts because " equality isn't as important if you're not a double d with a size 2 waist long legs a big butt, who takes 'exoctic' pictures and objectify our self because society gets to pick what beauty and a woman is" . it makes me angry and i don't agree with it all, i guarantee you that i will never ever be a size two with a big chest and super long legs. I'm not perfect, I'm not society's ideal of "beauty" but i am beautiful and so are you!
don't let America tell you what beauty is because we all are honestly who said that size two is even possible? really every photo we see, commercial we watch and magazine we read is extremely airbrushed and over photo shopped, do you and stay beautiful because beauty is what you make it. honestly i hate that we have to conform to and believe what the media and society tells us, lets just forget the lies and lives.
here is a YouTube video i saw that made me happy. her name is That Linguistic on YouTube and this video just says it all, i think. check it out and remember beauty is not only skin deep but mentally as well. love you all.
