This post doesn't really have to do with anything family related, I just need to vent at how disguisted I am with the world around us. Nose jobs, Boob jobs, why is it that wherever I look whether it be on tv,film or in magazines, all you see if fake. Even in small towns you walk around and see 12 year old girls who could easily pass for 16-17- and not naturally. I don't believe when a person looks in the mirror they truley see themselves, they see a little bulge here, celulite there, nose/lips too big or too small, not themselves. It has now gone from the average insecurtities that most people have to a full out obsession of trying to change everything god gave them. What happened to knowing deep down that despite those little flaws you were still beautiful, you still had characteristics that made you who you are. Why can't we praise a beautiful woman, or handsome man despite those things. Praise someone who works hard to get what they have, physical and mental, why must we think we have to pay to be/have those things. I see 10 year old girls with makeup piled on so thick, that it covers their already flawless,perfect skin, with so much eyeliner, you can't see the beauty behind their eyes anymore. So much padding in their bra's because they are to impatient to realize that their 10, their bodies aren't ready to be that busty. Why can't we look at women/girls on TV,FILM & Magaizines, who have a crooked tooth, a bump in their skin, a alittle flub here; NOT perfect just styled hair, not their own nose, or lips, or even cheeks, what happened to see a real person. Why is our vision clouded through airbrushing. I don't understand!
It seems we can teach our children that it's the work of a personal trainer, personal chef, computers, dentists, and doctors, because you know for most of the people it is, and not out of sheer determination to be healthy and fit. And the fact that these celebrities don't want the world to think their just like them, normal.
I am this person who is looking in the mirror and seeing fat, and flaws where there isn't anything. I am that person who looks at myself and dies to see someone else's face and body looking back at me, and I hate it. I hate that despite the good things your told by the one's you love, all this propaganda and images is the only thing that runs through my head, and I'm 25, just imagine what's going on through the minds of a vulnerable 12 year old thinking this is what she needs to be to fit in. I want to love my flaws and my weaknesses and accept them, because to someone else their beautiful and perfect. I want to see a real role model on tv, someone who has finished college, with brains, someone with a flat chest, crooked teeth, a bent nose, and a little extra bulge. Please stop portraying this unnatural, unnatainable, dumb blonde, party girl, drug addict image, it's pathetic. Let a person look in the mirror and learn to love themselves for who they are, because I'm sick to death of thinking that I'm not perfect or right because I'm not that!


BEAUTY IS NOT SOMETHING YOU BUY!!!!
