Always be yourself

Hello everyone! Belated happy new year! I'm sorry for that. I resumed school early this year so I've been a little bit busy.

Have you noticed that the world changes constantly? The views of people also changes. Today,the world views skinny people in a way,tomorrow being skinny is the most attractive thing ever. This modern idea of how people should look might just sound to you like it doesn't matter.

However,there are several cases of people especially young girls being displeased with their bodies. Its mostly about their weights but sometimes other things like their face,nose,chest area and so on. This I believe greatly reduces their confidence and self esteem.

This believe is caused by the impossible world created by or because of celebrities. These people live most of their famous lives under pressure. The media expect them to be flawless which is really impossible in reality. They are expected to look and be perfect. In their situation they really have no choice but to at least try. Most of them not only pull it off,they manage to make it look fun and easy. So this impossible figure and body starts to look more possible which makes ordinary girls hate themselves for not looking like that or at least close to that.

The number one secret to surviving in life is to be yourself,love yourself and accept your flaws. Accept that you're not perfect. This will protect you from a lot of things. Its okay to want lose weight or be fit just as long as you don't make yourself feel like you're useless.

Ignore people's mean comments. Whatever you do in life they'll just keep complaining. I know this because I had my own fair share of that.

At one point in my life, peoples comments started getting to me. "you're too skinny, when you walk its like the wind is going to blow you away..." "she moves like a spaghetti..." and so on. The comments cut me deep inside,it hurt a lot hearing such things. "She's weak,just look at her..." Amazingly,Through all of these something stayed permanent,I loved and still am okay with my skinny figure. I honestly don't wish to gain much weight-not because of d trend,no-Just because this is how I've always been and I love it.

For a while recently,I felt like perhaps,I shouldn't put on make up anymore. My makeup to school is mostly light but my friends go for the lightest make up like just a little bit of lipstick and thats it. So I thought for a second perhaps I should give it up too so that i'll just blend in,you know fit in perfectly. All of us are hijabies but they mostly use the long traditional hijab while I-for my love of fashion- chose a different type of hijab,so I'd wear trousers with a long top or with a bollero. This too-within those few seconds- I thought of giving up. I quickly realized that perhaps i'm different. No! The truth is i'm actually different,I have different interests and different likes thats what makes me who I am.

What I'm saying is,you should not compare yourself to others in anyway. We are all different. It'll only confuse you. Be true to your self, we are all only human,we have feelings and we change but there are things about us that don't change. In trying to change them we're trying to change who we are. But for who? For the world that keeps on changing? Is it really worth it?

With growing up,I realized that we are all different in every aspect,sure we might share interests or even characters but we can never be the same. So embrace your difference, its your uniqueness. After all it makes you stand out. Be yourself,love yourself and accept who you are!
