When I was younger, tall n skinny described me well. My bestfriend and I used to joke by saying I'd give her 4 inches of height and she'd give me 4 pounds. We laugh about it now, 20 years and a few pounds later. lol I've been reading and watching a few things on the internet, it got me to thinking about how we perceive ourselves. From our body images to our intelligence. True beauty is unobtrusive. Growing up I got alot of ,"You make me sick your so skinny." It occurred to me to mind but the people who used to tell me that were people who were supposed to like me so I tried not to let it bother me, but it did make me doubt myself. After all I didn't do anything to be the size I was, and they dieted constantly. Funny I never thought there was anything wrong with the sizes they were, guess they did. As I got older I realized that their problems weren't their waist sizes. Some of the ugliest people I have met had magazine looks,just lousy inter personal skills. Most of the people I know now want to be more than just a pretty face or six pack abs. I am fortunate to see alot of beautiful people everyday. They are all shapes,sizes,ages,shades and heritages. Their beauty radiates from their spirit. Some are blessed with what society considers beauty but it pales in comparison to their loving spirit. We all have different definitions of what we consider beauty. It seems society likes fake beauty. Photoshop is great, I have used it myself. Personally, I like the blur feature. I had smashing fun playing with all the things mine can do. The photos are great but not a true representation of who I am. Its fun to play act but when it becomes a lie others have to live up to then it is a problem. When you look in the mirror don't cringe and spot all the things society says are wrong. Instead really look at the person looking back at you with loving eyes, you'll be amazed at how beautiful they are.... how BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE.
just thinking out loud for all the world to see.......
