Between the lines of skin, bones and an individual Silhouette: Accepting what’s not Expected
We live in a world that’s constantly changing, and one thing that’s on my mind at this particular moment is the human body. Our culture is never accepting of it, nor are we ever to be happy with our own. Passing daily between the mouths of adults both young and old are the words, thin, fat, or recognizing people as being ‘skinny as a rail,’ or ‘as big as a horse.’
Never are we truly satisfied with our bodies as a whole, and use society as a blueprint for what we are made out to be in comparison of those around us. Well I say fuck society. It does not live our life for us, not to mention, determine our mental or emotional state of being, feelings or thought process at any given time.
It is okay to be comfortable with our bodies. It is perfectly alright to say ‘Yes, I am beautiful,’ and to have a healthy confidence. This is very true, however many of you have become skeptic of these words and have even doubted their true meaning when trying to brand them within the stone cold truth of your mind.

Furthermore, it is understandable that my point may be taken lightly, or rather personal…but I’m not here to please anyone, but to only bring up a subject that is rarely taken into complete thought amongst my generation.
Sure, the ideas and subjects of changing ones self to fit in is always contemplated, but never is the idea of accepting ones self as is, or loving a natural body of what we were born into - it is just simply unheard of.
In fact, I don’t even think it’s really discoverable that we are degrading our ancestors and family members of our own physical make-up. What is to be interpreted if young adults are constantly griping about how they wish they were different in appearance, physical feature etc.? It projects a negativity in which no one wants to harbor but ultimately pursues because not one person wants to stray away from what is accepted.
No one is real anymore. Plastic surgery, diet pills, weight loss programs, and even going to the extent of mutilating oneself.. it’s terrible, it’s horrific, and defiling against what we are known to be as individuals. Nothing is unique about conforming to the wastelands of media and the brainwashed communities of commercial barbies. We can’t embrace the idea of who we are.. we wouldn’t have an idea of who we are if we are constantly having an open ear to what is ‘in,’ ‘cool,’ ‘sexy’ or ‘desirable.’

I understand this first hand. Embrace your body (both men and women). Embrace and begin to create new ides of positive re enforcement within your mind. It all begins with where we surround ourselves and with what we spend majority of our time doing. If we as people, as teenagers, as anyone in this world - if we cannot begin to devote our time to evaluating how we see ourselves, reflecting on who we are, and come to a conclusion on what we want in life individually.. we will fail.
Overall, our paths within enlightenment will destroy our minds if we are not optimistic in regards to new perspectives… or grasping our own personas within a new light. It is important to have self awareness, as well as acceptance. Not one person on this earth is the same, nor do we have to be. It is allowed and even proven that we are not perfect. Perfection is non existent my friends..
But the beautiful thing about that is…
we can love and adore every single inch of what is not magazine read, or seen on t.v.
It’s your own style, your own skin, your own soul. And that can outshine any physicality that is mounted on the pedestal of the world we live in. The only person, the only thing, the only words spoken in which we can align to is our own.
I myself, have repeated these words. I can only bring happiness to no one but myself, for myself, in order to be successful and truly happy. I do not allow the other words and accusations of other people bring me down anymore; and as I have said before, nor should you.
It’s a waste of sweet time and energy to look into a mirror and come up with millions of reasons why we should be different, or why we should look, feel or act a certain way because of what is known or common to that of which surrounds us. Be positive, and in simple terms, de stress the way you live each day by reminding yourself..
“‘I am my own person. I live my own life. Not one is the same, nor can be compromised by a hand other than my own. I was made the way that I am for a reason, as is the next person to me. I am beautiful in every way..because beauty is born in several ways. I am strong, and in believing this, why devote my energy to pleasing this world? It’s bullshit. I’m living for me. And I enjoy what I see - I am content and satisfied with the way that I am. Anything else…wouldn’t be me.’”
