I recieved a beautiful email today that was originally sent to me on woman's day. I of course, being lazy did not read it at that time and DAMN! I SO wish i had!!! Anyways lets get back to that at the end of the post.
I'm sure this is an experience a lot of girls would have had.
You're sitting there innocently flipping through a magazine when you come across ______(insert stupid bimbo celebrity name here)in a bikini. You quickly flip away. A few pages later you see a beautiful unnamed model in an outfit that would only fit a lamp post. You look at her for a few seconds before flipping away. Then you come across advertisements for various make up items like eye shadow,lip gloss and all that.
You stare at the models who endorse these items. You stare and stare and stare and stare but nothing seems wrong with them. They look beautiful and perfect. "If only i had such big beautiful brown eyes" you sigh. You flip through to the next page where you see _______(Insert celebrity name here) lounging gracefully and you start to wonder why you don't look like that.
Another ad endorses skin cream and the model looks positively radiant. Her skin is the perfect tone and her figure is obviously absolutely flawless. You look down at your own skin and even though its healthy for a person your age, you dont see that.
You put down the magazine and try to ignore the sinking feeling in the gut of your stomach and try to watch tv but theres only more of plastic perfection in the form of deepika padukone,sheetal malhotra and Kareena Kapoor.... You're just so sick of it and you wish you could change. you try to get away.
Sound familiar ladies?
What many people don't realise is that those models aren't perfect. Come on ladies, you're all smart. You should know that that those models or actresses are made to look inhumanly perfect only cause of the following tricks-
1)Air brushing
2)Photoshop
3) Camera and lighting can do wonders.
There are about 3 billion women who don't look like supermodels. They seem happy.
If Barbie was a real woman, She'd have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.
One out of every four college-
aged women
has an eating disorder .
A psychological study in 1995
found that just 3 minutes
looking at a fashion magazine
caused70% of women to
feel DEPRESSED , GUILTY and SHAMEFUL !
20 years ago, models weighed 8% less than the average woman.
Today, they weigh 23% less . . . .
It doesn't occur to the girls that the models didn't just drop from the stars perfect. They too had to start out somewhere and they were also probably in possession of a human figure at some point of their life or the other.
Perfection doesn't lie in a size zero dress that would look better on a lamp post than it would on any super model. It doesn't lie in the glamourous beauty they exhibit. It doesnt even lie in their huge incomes.
Perfection in a real woman lies in her strength. The strength of the woman in supporting her family, providing encouragement to her friends and husband and paving the way for children. The beauty of a woman is not determined by her external beauty. But it is defined by her grace, charm, bravery, wiseness, determination and her ability to keep calm and provide others support in even the worst of circumstances. You could take a very average looking woman and she would be more beautiful than Kate Moss or any other supermodel as she is capable of achieving a lot more and she will.
DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE
SOMETIMES YOUR EYES MAY EVEN DECIEVE
BUT KEEP BELIEVING IN WHAT YOU ALWAYS BELIEVE
AND PEACE AND INNER STRENGTH YOU WILL ACHIEVE ^_^
