How are you readers! I was exploring this site for almost 2 hours and I already read 10 articles which I randomly chose in the genre/topic section. I was amazed by the written works of different authors and I got intimidated with their talent and techniques in writing, and then I saw the piece of Ms @emily2u article about beauty, sorry for the tag and it was published a month ago , while reading it a certain thought appeared in my mind about my own definition of beauty. So here it is I am going to share my own perception of the word "BEAUTY". By the way guys I asked @Athaliah about the word prompt because that word is new to me and thanks to her I've already got the idea. Thanks mate!
Beauty comes from a different meaning. Some people describe beauty as anything pleasant of what the eyes can see. Others perceived it of how people behave (PERSONALITY). But for me it is more than that.
Be-You-tiful
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, however beauty should not only be based on what you see in your naked eye alone. We used to idolize and admire those people we have seen in social media possessing captivating and mezmerizing beauty to the extent that we desperately want to imitate them. It is an obvious reality that many people run to the media to find out how to become beautiful. But let me remind you, media is not the place to turn, so change your paradigms.
End that kind of mindset, we are all uniquely created. You don't need to copy every detail of the person you admire just to be called pretty. I know that we are living now in a world where we are so caught up with fitting in and catching up with the trend and focusing on what others think. Our generation seems to change from time to time and our standards are leveling up too. Therefore, people are now neglecting the essence of true beauty because a lot of people now are trying hard to feel pretty and to look pretty in so many ways.
Yes, whether we like it or not that is the reality that we are living now. Honestly, I am not writing this to flatter or to comfort you, hence this is my own way to remind you that you’re beautiful when you decide to be yourself. What I’m trying to say is that being yourself can actually be hard it might be easy to say but it is to take it into action, for the reason that as what I have earlier we are living now in an era where we are being judged left and right. Let say for example, criticisms over the Internet is super easy because no one has to do it to your face or personally. They hurt, bully and judge others through online which triggers insecurities, self-pity, depression, and other negative emotions to the one who was victimized.
Only you can fight those negative emotions. All you need to do is to take another step to redefine your worth on how you see yourself rather than thinking what other's saw in you.
Unleash all the insecurities that you've been carrying for a long time instead bring out the best in you.
Try to look at the mirror and fix your eyes and mind whats beyond in it. If you feel like you got discourage of what you look like in the mirror be the first to encourage, motivate, and appreciate yourself, because beauty starts in you.
In life we will have to encounter such criticisms and negative feedbacks from others but don't let it get to you, instead keep in mind that you should take it all positively and make it as your motivation to improve yourself as a person.
Feel free to be you, I know it may sound easy to say but trust me it's all worth it. Embrace your flaws and make your weaknesses as your strength so that you can gain confidence and optimism.
Untie yourself from the beauty standards of today's generation. Stay who you are, just adapt positive changes that will make you a better person without impressing others with your looks. At the end of the day those who look down on you will soon get tired and will notice the things that makes you beautiful.
Leave Comparison Behind. We used to compare ourselves to others, and its natural. However, better to stop it as soon as possible. Don’t compare yourself to others. Doing so is a happiness killer, you’ll get nothing out of it, so get rid of that habit!
Closing note,
"BE YOUR OWN KIND OF BEAUTY"
As what I have mentioned recently, BEAUTY STARTS WHEN YOU DECIDE TO BE YOURSELF.
So, Be-You-Tiful.❤️
