Something is fundamentally wrong with the female body and it’s natural to be unhappy with it. It’s not just natural teenage insecurity either. In our society, adult female bodies are treated like mistakes that continually need correcting. It’s too smelly, it’s too hairy, it’s the wrong shape, it’s the wrong colour. We’re seen to be badly designed somehow, needing extra stuff to make them okay. Being unhappy about your body is often presented as one of the essential personality traits of women, if we believe what society tells us.

You see a model walk down the street and she’s wearing jeans and a T-shirt, no make-up, her hair down, and she looks like a regular girl. For me just to look “natural” in a photo takes two hours of hair and makeup, good lighting, styling and Photoshop—and six hours later, you have the picture. But when I go home, it’s just me with no makeup, pimples, and a pair of a baggy pants. That’s life—the rest is fantasy. We all need to remember that a photo is just what beauty was to one photographer on one day. You can’t compare yourself to those pictures. You are real. Photos are two-dimensional. Beauty is three-dimensional. Your confidence, your personality, your presence—it all adds to what makes you beautiful.

Beauty isn’t measured in how many brand-named items we own in our closet or how many high heels we wear. Beauty isn’t measure in the push up bras in our drawers or the make up we put on in the morning. Beauty isn’t materialistic things that will someday disappear all together. The most beautiful people in the world are the saddest people people in the world. Why? The saddest people in the world smile even though they don’t have a reason to. They smile for the little things, even though big things destroy them. We’d never find out why they were sad because they bring so much light to our world even though theirs is covered in darkness. That, my friend, is what true beauty is.
