It is about time that society starts erasing the ideas that the media has implanted in our minds. Although there is a lot of campaign that support plus sized women and “bigger” women, the idea that skinny girls are perfect remains to this day which means insecurity is built upon the women of our society every day. At the same time, in the past couple of years the media has started promoting the hourglass body shape a lot and as a result a lot of girls don't their bodies because they’re too thin and that’s not right either.
The main idea that the media has successfully dragged us in is that beauty is determined by size. With this idea comes insecurity of so many women of all ages, they start believing that if they don’t look a certain type of way, if they don’t have big breasts and a big butt, if they don’t have a thigh gap and many other things, they’re not beautiful. If they’re not skinny they will never find someone that loves them and if they’re too skinny then the same thing will happen.
The truth is that although love and relationships shouldn’t be completely based on physical attraction, different men like their women in different sizes, not all men like skinny girls and not all men like girls with a tiny waist, big breasts and big butt and its not too hard to understand. People made so much drama when Joe Jonas started dating plus size model Ashley Graham and I don’t really understand why because usually when a skinnier woman dates a bigger man it’s not that big of a deal and it shouldn’t be for either gender. Fun fact, some studies have proved that the majority of men say that their favorite body part about their female partner is their face. In the end does it really matter what men like? All that matters is that you like the way your body looks.
Beauty comes in all sizes and shapes. There’s nothing wrong with you or your body. You are human and you’re not perfect and that is completely fine. We all have to start getting out of our heads this idea of perfect girls with no cellulite or stretch marks because those things you see on tv and magazines aren’t true. The truth is that although you can improve your body a lot through certain methods you will never be able to completely change it, sometimes not even with plastic surgery and you shouldn’t feel a need to change it. You can be a size 2 or a size 22, it doesn’t matter; you will always have stretch marks and cellulite. Even babies have cellulite on their little bums, legs and arms so as you can see, it really is no big deal. We are so used to the idea of this perfect image that whenever I see imperfection on the human body, I find it beautiful, it reminds me that we are actually humans and not plastic dolls. What is even more beautiful is someone that owns up to their looks and learns to love and accept themselves for who they are.
Stop not wearing that pair of shorts that you love so much just because you’re afraid of how big or small your thighs are. Don’t let your saggy or small boobs stop you from wearing that risky cleavage that you’re so tempted to wear. Your body is the way it is, your size and shape won’t change if you cover up with a thousand layers of clothes or if you wear nothing at all. We spend our lives worrying about how our body looks and what others will think of it and at the end of the day it doesn’t matter because your body is yours, nobody can take it away from you and it’s such a precious thing to have.
You will always have someone that will point out your imperfections or that will judge your body and the way you dress but those people are irrelevant, let them judge all they want and dress however they want, you do you. Stop comparing yourself to others. Don’t let your body limit its own beauty. Don’t let your insecurities define your style and choice of clothing and don’t let anyone tell you you’re not beautiful because you are. In the end the only thing that is important about the physical aspect of your body is that you love it and accept it just the way it is, anyone else can mind their own business.
