Sunday, 5 June 2011

Nothing all that exciting happened on Sunday, so I'm going to write a little more about Saturday.

After drama practice, I went to a girls' meeting a few people from my church started a few weeks ago. I hadn't actually been too keen on going there, because Saturdays are always quite exhausting. So beautiful, but exhausting.

That evening, we talked about beauty and self-image. It's alarming to see how many people, mostly women and girls, have to cope with feelings of inferiority, especially when it comes to their appearance. One of the girls showed this video to us: The Evolution of Beauty

I had seen it before, but it's a sad reminder of the media's impact on people's definition of beauty. But hey, listen! You don't have to change yourself to be beautiful; you already are beautiful. You don't have to change yourself to be loved. If someone truly loves you, they will accept you for who you are.

Because you are beautiful the way you are.
