Confidence is the sexiest attribute anyone could have, male or female, and I think that confidence exudes from loving yourself and being okay with who you are.
Nobody is born perfect and nobody will die perfect, so why do we insist on comparing ourselves to others? We are all individuals with our own opinions, passions, ambitions and downfalls, so why does society insist on trying to get us all to look and feel the same?
Why would you even want to look the same as everyone else and become a clone? In the eyes of a teenage girl, there will always be someone who has longer hair, a smaller waist, a bigger bust, longer legs or clearer skin.
But imperfections are what separate us from each other and make us unique and who says that they’re bad things? You will never be able to let go of this petty obsession until you truly believe that there is beauty in everyone, even you, and learn to be happy with yourself.
When you do this, like a flower your love for yourself will blossom and thrive and I guarantee it will make you happier than you were before. Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder and no matter how ugly or fat you may think that you are, out there you will be someone’s perfect idea of beautiful.
There is beauty in everyone, inside and out. If someone feels the need to alter themselves physically to boost confidence and to be happy with their body then fair enough, but it should be an independent decision and not one influenced by the condescending, materialistic nature of the media and peers.
“Love yourself. Everything that you do – do it for yourself. Do not try to find validation from anyone else. The only validation you need is from yourself.”
