The Ideal Beauty

Recently, one bright morning, I was reading my newspaper as usual.Of all the headlines in that morning's newspaper,  one caught my attention i.e "Suicide of a girl ! Bullied for not being beautiful"! Is this something so weird and strange?
For me, it is not so. Yes! As a girl I know, there is no argument about the fact that most of the girls/women are highly concerned about their looks. Admit it or not, Each and Every women wants to look beautiful. But, if we begin caring for good appearance beyond some limit, we may have to face ridicule.

It is not our fault. We are in a society,  where looks and appearance are things that are considered very important. We are being judged by how we look, how we dress, how we carry ourself. Honestly, nothing is permanent in this planet. Looks and beauty doesn't last forever. Then why to care all these?
Remember,  you are in the same society where thousands of acid attack survivors with all their faces completely disfigured are finding the courage to reclaim their lives. You are in the same society where Cancerians wearing their baldness with pride. Take them as an inspiration. It's your confidence which defines you, not looks and not clothes.

When you are an infant, you have a smooth and flawless skin. As u grow, due to environmental and health changes, your complexion  gets changed.  It's quite common to meet pimples in your adolescence.  Even researchers conclude that women gain weight after marriage. Finally, Everyone will end their ages with wrinkled and creased faces.

Observe, You cant stop any of these. All these are a part of our life cycle.  All you have to do is,  stay healthy and fit rather than trying to meet some standard of beauty society has set up. Focus on what you have rather than what you dont have. Beauty can only gain attention but not the Respect. To be beautiful means to be yourself.You need not be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.Stop comparing. Stop complaining.  Because, you are beautiful in your own way. Have self esteem, self confidence,  self respect. " BE AN UNSTOPPABLE QUEEN"!
