Earlier in the month I read a book about one woman's diary - and how she came to an acceptance and love of who she was. from her yellow hair to her laughter lines, to every part of herself. How she learnt to embrace who she was and not want to change one thing - instead to relish each stage of her life and find the beauty in it.
That is where I want to be, it is who I want to be. Uninfluenced by these images of perfection that bombard my screen, my worldddd, my head. and, and this usually provoke feelings of depression!... It's hard though. It's a daily battle to accept yourself fully, to see your own unique beauty in spite of what society deems the ideal.
I, I think I have a good body, I still struggle at times. Especially when confronted with photos like these. When my goals and all the hard work I'm putting in to be healthy, fit and "magnificent" for the next year of my life simply seem so hard to accomplish. It's easy to pick yourself apart, point out the bad bits. Too easy to think of yourself as unattractive and worthless. I know I'm not alone in this - a good deal of our female population on the planet faces the same fight every day.
So what's the solution?... ohh it's a good question, isn't it?... what's the solution?, To chuck societal expectations and norms completely perhaps, accept fully the beautiful person you are (INSIDE if noT Outside) and simply be happy. At least I think that's it.. :-)
