5 Thoughts Every Women Has But Shouldn't Be Having
The Odyssey

Nowadays women are looking towards celebrities and social media to set the platform for what is beautiful. What fashion trends are in, how we should be wearing our makeup, doing our hair and even how our body should look. These unrealistic standards of beauty that are being set are tearing down the confidence of women all around the world. Women are looking in the mirror with a mind full of insecurities telling themselves they are not good enough. Instead of finding validation from within, we are comparing ourselves to women that are idolized as beautiful. Our minds are being clouded with negative thoughts that should never cross a women's mind.

Here are five thoughts that due to unrealistic beauty standards, cross the mind of every women daily:

1. "I can't wear that, I'm not skinny enough."

You can be a size zero or a size 12 and in either size you will be beautiful. Never define your beauty by someone else who was born with a completely different figure. You are beautiful in your own way. As long as you are confident, you can wear anything you see someone else wearing.

2. "Why can't I have the lips, cheekbones and eyebrows of a Kardashian."

It's no secret the Kardashians are gorgeous, but it's also no secret that they have glam teams and thousands of dollars to spend on plastic surgery. Their beauty is priced at thousands, your natural beauty is free. You just need to see the beauty in yourself.

3. "My boobs will never look that good in a shirt."

Not everyone is born with perfectly round, perky boobs. Most women are either using miracle working bras or have had some work done. But whether you are born with great breast or using your own tricks to make them great, you should never consider yourself anything less than perfect because of another woman walking down the street with perky boobs.

4. "I refuse to wear shorts because of the cellulite on my legs."

News flash ladies, the majority of women have cellulite!! A few little dimples on your legs should not stop you from wearing anything you want to wear. Cellulite is not a symbol of fat. Women of all sizes have cellulite.

5. "My skin will never look as flawless as celebrities skin does."

Keep in mind, these celebrities spend big bucks to make sure their skin is flawless. You may not have perfectly smooth skin but whether it is acne, wrinkles or scars, it should not make you feel any less confident in yourself. Embrace the skin you are in and you will look as beautiful as any other woman.

You are born the way you are. You can spend hundreds of dollars on makeup, different cremes and you can even go under the knife. But at the end of the day you are still in the skin you are born with and in order to feel confident in that skin, you must love it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
