RE: My Trouble With Unrealistic Beauty Standards

in #life8 years ago

Quite the interesting article here @calaber24p. Being on the female side of the picture, I totally get it. Everywhere I look, there are beautiful women whom I envy. Seems they get much further in life than those like me (regular Jane). I don't consider myself much to look at (tall, thin and big blue eyes). I spent my school age years being called many names (ugly, scarecrow, bitch, and many other names). Had my share of hair pulling, spit on, trash thrown at me. It took me a long time to build a little bit of self esteem. I almost have fully given up on finding my soul mate. If it happens, yay me and if not, my life will go on.
I have had people tell me I am not ugly, including from friends whom are beautiful in my eyes. People need to realize that beauty is on the INSIDE not outside. I do have to apologize for not having my profile photo out yet. I truly hope this story lets you see, you are not alone.
