The Beauty of Inner Beauty

Beauty isn’t about how much make up you apply, what hair you have on. (Wigs is hair too! Hope you read that in a black American accent.) or what clothes you wear. It’s more than just the physical and it’s sad that so many people can’t see that.

Our generation, I must say, is a very hardworking one. Everyone’s trying so hard, but for all the wrong reasons. We’re going to the gym, we’re buying expensive clothes, perfume, phones, hair (Lol)-everything. We’re fixing our appearance, but in real sense, it’s the soul that needs surgery.

I honestly think if we paid as much attention to our inside as we do to our outside, the world would be a better place. It would be filled with people who are beautiful all through, not narcissistic, mean show-offs who happen to be really gorgeous. You feel me? My advice? Tone the outer beauty down a bit. Don’t come to me looking like a ratchet, taking about I told you to go easy on your looks. Nah bruh. (I honestly have that accent stuck in my head.) I’m just saying focus a bit more on your inside. Are you a nice person? Are you negative or positive? (Are you an electron or a proton? Haha! Chemistry joke.) Are you living right? When’s the last time you prayed? Things like that.

Once you remodel your inside, you can move into the gym. You have my blessings. Don’t be that person who’s so pretty, but not pretty.

Yay to outer beauty.

Double yay to inner beauty.

Regards.

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.

Inspired by my lovely friend, Immaculate Yego. Lots of love. ♥
