Beauty is in the Eyes of the Beholder

Click here to see why our idea of beauty is so distorted.

Dove is stepping out to promote real beauty, so am I.

Don't you feel tired all the time trying to suit your body according to what the world thinks is 'beautiful'? How many of us here are truly, honestly and sincerely satisfied with the way we look?

The latest nip/tuck commercial:
Does having a ugly face make you hideous
Does having a fat body make you monsterous
Sometimes the real monsters are the ones behind a beautiful exterior

Someone on national television claimed that she "didn't believe in natural beauty". So is that how its like now these days, no such thing as natural beauty?

How many times in school people get made fun of because of the way they look? Stick and stones may break my bones, but words hurt even more than stones.

Too tall, too short, too thin, too fat, no double eyelids! Too fair, too dark.

Work out, work out, work out. Exercise to get that great body! Use the sharp end of a comb to draw out double eyelids and you'll get them in a month. Slather tanning lotion all over your body. Slimming centres, weight management, struggling to keep up with what the rest expects of you.

Anoreixa, bullemia, depression. Slit writs, legs. Feel like nobody cares.

I wonder why people get stressed with the amount of work and all, but nobody gets stressed with the ever-increasing standards the world has set for beauty.

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Let's get this ball rolling.

Hi there!

I'd never think that there would be this one day where I would get a blog. I practically vowed (ok, technically I can't) never to give in to this blog revolution, but whaddya know? Things happen.

So, yeah. This just to set the record straight. This blog is for anything under the sun. And this is for thoughts, controversies, feelings, things I feel that are worth mentioning, and just plain, ol' ramblings.

So there you have it.
