Not that you are better than anyone. That's not it. You are just as good as anyone. Personally I have lived a great portion of my life, not finding anything beautiful about myself. And I honestly didn't give it much thought, probably feeling as if I'm not self worthy. But when I listen to young girls breaking their spirits because they don't look like the ideal beauty, my heart just shatters. My heart cries for them - but then at the same time I get so angry. VERY ANGRY! How dare someone make a anyone feel like they are less than because they are not the false ideal of beauty. Screw that - if you do not mind me saying.
So women and young ladies - become brave to be who are you are in your own skin. Love who you are - not by some stupid standard society dictates but by the standard that God created us in His image and He makes beauty all around.
Feel like putting on your make up - doing your hair. GO for it! But do so because you want to - not because you feel that you HAVE to in order to be seen in public. I am not a girly type girl, and I know that the beauty standards will never be applied to me. Also know this, I am loved. I know this. Loved for the beauty that I am. Took me a long time to accept that love, and allow myself to find my beauty. You might not see it just by the glimpse you catch of me, but when you take a moment to look longer you will see it to. So for yourself, look in the mirror - allow your eyes to love what the reflection reveals.
Here is another video - that is getting the point across.
