Society's Idea of Beautiful

Offer more than your face...

Don't let the society around you determine your beauty.

Don't give into insecurities because these people don't like how you don't look like everyone else.

Thinking that you need to make your nose smaller, make your lips fuller, make your eyebrows thicker and going to altercate these things to please people is letting your core down.

Don't ever think of changing who you are in terms of cosmetic surgery.

Even if you get plastic surgery to fill a need and you claim that it is making you feel satisfied, you are still changing yourself because you see other people and you seek validation from other people.

These people at the core are essentially seeking to be beautiful.

We need to teach these people that beautiful is the aura we give off because of the kindness we offer, the laughters we give, not the equal proportions we were genetically assigned too.

Cosmetic surgery is to achieve a societal norm and standards so if you are getting them done (even if you claim to make yourself feel good) you're changing yourself to please these people.

You see other people who are praised on being beautiful and you are lacking it in yourself so you think 'I'm going to change', well why are you changing it? To essentially, seek a societal norm.

Being beautiful comes from within, it means a million more things than just having a pretty face.

Regardless, if you are being honest with yourself, people don't get surgery and injections if at the core aren't seeking validation from these societal norms.

Take your flaws and use it against those that say you look different, and laugh silently to yourself while they are looking all the same.
