Be-You-Tiful/ {Beautiful}

Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and felt disappointed? Have you preferred your selfie versions over your real-self? Is it Beautiful or Be-You-tiful?

I belong to GenZ so I have encountered devices, apps, filters that help to correct our supposed *imperfections but is it really worth it? Should we be proud of our selfie-versions and then feel disappointed while comparing that with our real faces?Is it worth it?

How do you know you are beautiful? what makes you feel you are? by what standards is beauty measured? why should the social media and more likes or less likes affect how you feel about your stature ,hair, ear, body shape and others?

I respect definitions given by various dictionaries but I won't go by them because I have come to realize that being beautiful is more about being You!!! Be-You-tiful.

Why this article? Why Be-You-Tiful?

There are thousands of teenagers and even adults in depression, coma and different cases because they conformed to the *social media standards for beauty. I believe beauty comes from within. As a guy, sincerely speaking I have seen plenty attractive ladies but they are not *beautiful hahaha! crazy right? You might ask why the hell did you say that? Beautiful is not just about what people say or see about you, it is about what you see and say about yourself. So people might find you attractive but what do you think? are you or not? or you use the public definition to answer a personal question?

When I see a beautiful person (for example a beautiful lady) I know because they are original, I mean they are *Real! they are not trying to be a second version of someone else rather, they just wonna be them!!! yeah that's the word - Be-You-Tiful, just Be You!

Conclusively, we often say that "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder", this means what you consider as beauty is what you perceive not exactly what is. So as a person, do you wait for others to bring their opinions and then you begin to adjust to them. I am in no way saying corrections should not be adhered to, rather I am suggesting that you be original, work on yourself to be better but not destroy yourself trying to impress people all in the name of *beauty.
