"Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder"

 In modern society, we often stigmatize the concept of beauty to a skinny young girl with a lack of breasts and a certain 'Je ne se quoi' quality that drives men up the wall and makes all women jealous. Let's start with: those women are beautiful. They're probably all wonderful women as well. I am not here to tell you to hate on those women, or think of them as any less beautiful. However, I don't think we should have an ideal. I don't think the concept of beauty should be defined by such specific standards.

First and foremost, let's tackle the idea of 'young'. Why is it that women are seen as beautiful until they reach a certain age? My mother is one of the most beautiful women i've ever laid eyes on, and clearly she isn't twenty-two anymore. My grandmother is an absolute goddess. Let's tackle women such as Meryl Streep and Betty White. Those women are a religion to me, they walk in an essence of beauty that inspires me to be a poised and graceful individual. Those women are beautiful. Age doesn't make you any less stunning, it simply changes beauty from one form to another. Young skin is replaced with old. This is a fact. However, this isn't a travesty, a loss of beauty, an aspect of life to cry over. Instead, it is simply a new form of beauty. A beauty that comes with the changes of life, with the new roads that you walk to reach the end of your journey. No road is lesser then the one before, they simple ARE.

Now what about the concept of skinny? I have never understood why the real concept isn't 'healthy?' there are a copious amount of diets and fads that are all about 'trimming away the fat.' However, the real concept should be: hows your BMI? Are you drinking enough water? Have you walked a lot today? Furthermore, so many looks are beautiful, so many curves are stunning. There is no 'right' weight. Eliminate the idea that you have to be skinny to be beautiful. And for the record, this isn't just for women, it's for men too. Eliminate the idea that you have to be muscular to be attractive. Eliminate the idea that you have to have abs to get laid. Eliminate the idea that in order for women to like you you have to have the perfect body. Just drink water. Be healthy. Do you. Girls, embrace your curves. Love your stretch marks. Adore you freckles. Hug the extra five pounds. Kiss the lack of a thigh gap. You are a GODDESS. Men, hug your stomach. Appreciate your thighs. Wink at your arms. Love your double chin. You are a GOD. There is no ideal. You create your own standard.

Lastly, let's discuss the concept of having a "quality" to make a romantic interest like you. If you want to look a certain way, I support you. If you want to be a certain way, I support you. But do it for you. Don't do it for any man. Don't do it for any woman. True love is when someone loves you despite your flaws. True love is when someone loves you when you are at your worst. Be you. You are enough. Someone will love you. Don't worry about that. If it didn't work out in the past, it simply wasn't meant to be.
