define beauty
I am beautifulĀ
I am beautifulĀ
That's what the magazine told me to say in the mirror to myself once in the morning before I leave for work and once at night before I go to sleepĀ
But how do I have time to say that to myself in the morning when I am so worried about having enough time to cover up every inch of what I was born with?
Am I beautiful?
Am I beautiful?
I wake up, shower, without looking in the mirror after I take my clothes off, I get out and put lotion all over my skin to make it soft enough for others to touch, because if I don't, I am not beautiful, I am rough skinned.Ā
I start putting on makeup, that costs me too much, but I look beautiful with it on, so this means it is priceless, now I can look at myself in the mirror, but not crack a full smile until I have layered my hair with things that probably aren't supposed to go in it, what the fuck is hairspray?
I get dressed - 10 times, I didn't like my outfit the first time, it made me look fat, the second time my boobs looked too big and I didn't want to look like a whore, so I have put something ''more respectful'' on - because apparently, my pair of natural breasts make me look like a slut.Ā
You are beautifulĀ
You are beautifulĀ
I am so glad I got up 3 hours earlier than I was supposed to today, because now I have been cat-called 7 times and someone at work told me I look like I have made an effort, they told me I look beautiful.
Do the magazines have a column for people who don't wear spanks? For the people who don't have money for makeup? For the people who are allergic to something in fucking hairspray so they are not able to be beautiful (enough), because a page giving me confidence boosting tips and then selling me beauty enhancement products on the next is not making me feel beautiful.
Define fucking beauty, I choose to be beautiful without the things that make me not.

I absolutely love this...it says everything that has always pissed me off with society. I don't wear make up and I refuse to Botox my wrinkles!!...we are what we are and we can't ever hope to find happiness while we are so consumed with the external. Love the way you've expressed this also...well done! ??
Thank you so much.Ā
I was really just trying to reach out to women who thought they didn't have any self-esteem etc. due to the pressures of society and media.Ā
Glad you enjoyed the read.Ā
<3Ā
Well you did, it's a wonder any of us are still standing...look younger, more beautiful, excel at work at motherhood, at being a wife, a daughter,a friend, run a beautiful home...I'm knackered already, lol ??
