Stay Beautiful In Your Own Skin

Being human isn’t easy. We have social media and peer pressure all around us, sometimes urging us to be someone we’re not. Well, it’s about time we shed away the stress and strive to be the person we really are! It’s time to feel comfortable in your own skin.

These days there are so many teams in social media and i just don’t get them all. And for a fact, I don’t understand this “team darkskin/lightskin scenerio. Since when was “skin Color” ever a team? Someone help me understand how this is supposed to work out.

Why are so many women/girls bleaching their skin tones to make it lighter.  Many of them will go out of their way to achieve this. Be it buying the pills, soaps or even going ahead to do the tanning thingy. Why? I do not know.

I mean, why can’t you be satisfied with how you were created? Don’t you love yourself much to love you just the way you are? Don’t you understand how being beautiful works? Let me tell you this, being beautiful is accepting yourself first. How do you expect people to accept you when you yourself haven’t.

Loving yourself is the most challenging of all the ways to feel comfortable in your own skin. Being yourself sounds so easy, doesn’t it? Do you ever want to just scream and say “I don’t know who I am!”? If so then you’re not alone. I do it all the time. I’m realizing I’m about to be an empty nester and that means I have to figure out who I really am. This is a trial and error thing. If you don’t like something, don’t pretend to. I love watching films. I don’t like medical films. I love girly mystery novels. I don’t like Philosophy. My friends love politics. They accept I have no interest in it. Find out who you are and be yourself, trust me you’ll feel better.

But who is to blame really? I tend to think its us. We as a society are failing to depict what true beauty really is. This is not the example any one would want to set for their daughters or future daughters on which skin Color they should feel beautiful in…BLACK SKIN IS ACTUALLY BEAUTIFUL, Very beautiful.

We are all From the same race no matter what shade you are. Ofcourse be proud of your shade but theres also no need to shame other shades. After all God didnt make us this way to tease one another nor to change who we were born to be. LOVE THE SKIN YOUR IN, LOVE THE COMPLEXION YOUR PARENTS PASSED DOWN TO YOU, most importantly LOVE YOURSELF and trust me you’ll never feel so beautiful!

Beauty starts with you. Don’t be cliche’. Don’t be a stereotype.

There's nothing as beautiful as loving yourself.
