Anerexia and beauty are not the same by Kairi deko (book recommendations based on other books TXT) 📖

So what is a beautiful face? When you think of the word beauty, what comes to your mind? Do you think of a famous actress, do you think of flawless skin, thin ass eyebrows, a shitload of mascara, a perfact prominent nose, or maybe a tiny, skinny body and maybe some abs to go with it. Yea, okay well that all seems to be what america is teaching to everyone in the country. She is doing a splendid job at making girls feel really beautiful.
When you think of the word ugly, what comes to you mind? Thick eyebrows you might suppose are ugly, or maybe acne, a chunky fat body, double chin, mole, unwanted facial hair. Well, if you weren't thinking any of these things than God bless you because you are on the right track and with confidence you will outshine those fake phony fashion queens.
To be honest, everyone feels ugly inside. Humanity has a way of calling ourselves ugly and making use feel like we don't belong with anyone, but how is it, that everyone thinks that they can be ugly at one point in their life? There are many girls who look up to movie stars and actresses and strive for that sort of confidence, but personally that confidence you want is the confidence you neeed to work for in yourself. You need to look within yourself, what are your character flaws, what's your personality. Are you a snob conceited girl, is you heart a stone of lust. How can you overcome the selfishness?
'Looks arent' everything. It's inner beauty that counts.' How many of us have heard that saying and just rolled our eyes thinking to ourselves, 'Psh, all the beauty my face could give me does matter you dumbass.' I used to think it, sometimes I think I won't be acknowledged because I'm not wearing make-up and at times I even got mad at myself and I called myself mean things in my mind. Guess what, you become a monster trying to find what you think is the perfact beauty. Once everyone starts calling you beautful and it's because of the covergirl make-up you've been wearing or the strict water drinking diet you've been on, or the new contacts you have because you feel like a nerd with the glasses on, than you know you are obsessed and it's evil.
You see a model and what's the first thing you think of when you see the model? Is it 'Gawd she's so skinny.' Or like i would think, 'Oh my, she is so fierce.' Okay, ackowledge her thin figure, but once you let it maifest in your brain and you start the unhealthy way of losing the weight, you have just stepped into a maze of thorns that will be hard to escape. You will enter the uglyness of selfish yet selfless beauty that you think is perfact. And you wanna know how many girls have stepped in that maze already? Over eight million americans. Seven million are women and one million and males.
The age range of ten to thirteen of pre-teen girls are anerexic. You become mentally ill and mentally obsessed. Your body wants health, nurtients that you lack to give it and you say it's because of beauty and it's really not a beautiful thing at all. I am not saying go overboard and be obes. I'm just saying to eat healthy, exercise, breath and just enjoy the things around you. I'm a Christian and being a leader is hard, there was a point in my life when I was thinking about calories all day and thought 'Dear Jesus my parents are trying to make me fat!' I pray and I try to focus on God and the words he says. Proverbs 33:31 reads that charm is deceitful, and beauty is vein, but women who fear the Lord will be praised.
I know some didn't want to read this, and some over-looked it, but please for those who aren't struggling, if you know someone who is, please pray for them, and if you don't wish to pray, please help them, show them that eating will not kill you. Your body wants the food, it needs the food, it needs energy. You need a healthy mind and a healthy body. We are all beautiful, but sometimes we let the world inside and then we become monsters and we let them win. We let the beasts that overpower us win.
Everyone has their different version of beautiful. If yours is the first things i listed, than you are exactly what they want you to be. A beauty-monster. Don't obsess with beauty, be confident with your beauty because it's your own. Nobody; Nobody can take that away unless you let them. Don't let those hurtful words take over you and don't be afraid to be bold and say 'I am beautiful. In every single way.' (Yes, i did in fact quote Christina Aguilera. I want you to sing that song out loud and mean it!!! and don't you dare compare yourself to Christina, because we have a beauty not even she could have. You and I are different and if you chose to let the lies manifest, like I did, than it's a lost game and I know you are stronger than that.
We all are.
