Let’s face it, being a female in today’s society is everything but easy! The stereotypes we are expected to live by each day is enough to make any woman insecure. Now add on the ridicule we receive by our own expectations along with those from our peers and you’ve got a massive fucking mess of ladies trying to be “perfect.” I’m sad to say, but this can many times unfortunately determine or mold how we think of our own self.
As a female, I believe all ladies are beautiful no matter how we look, no matter the size of clothes worn, how much we weigh, the style of clothes we choose to wear, the color of our hair, the color of our skin, our ethnicity, etc.... I could go on for hours. Society has twisted the true definition of beauty, and as a female, we have allowed this to happen by merely body shaming other females and just being plain mean to one other. This is NOT, I repeat, this is NOT ok!
Beauty is defined by so much more than what we see on the outer side of another. Beauty isn’t about having a pretty face. It’s about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart and a pretty soul!
Lupita Nyong’o said it best: “You can’t eat beauty, it doesn’t sustain you. What is fundamentally beautiful is compassion, for yourself and those around you. That kind of beauty enflames the heart and enchants the soul.”
The purpose of this post is to bring back some much needed positivity to the AR board. Let’s stop body shaming each other. Instead, let’s encourage one another, compliment and uplift each other, be kind to one another as the world is already ugly enough.
I encourage everyone to post a few favorite pics of yourself and let others compliment you! If you have nothing nice to say, then remain silent or move along to another thread.
I am always reluctant about posting pics of myself due to my own insecurities (yes, I said it, I battle with insecurities too) but I will start.. Here are a few of my favorite pics. I want to see others post so we as a community, can show love instead of hate. In a world where you can be anything, be kind!
