Pressured to look a certain way?
Are you pressurized to look a certain way?
Why do we need someone else’s approval for our hair and our skin? Why do we think it is essential to ‘correct’ our facial features or skin tones according to society’s baseless beliefs? Of course, appearances certainly do matter but our value is not measured according to comparison or preference of features. Someone with a darker skin tone should never be considered ’lower’ than someone with a lighter one. Someone who has shiny or silky hair is not worth more than someone with curly hair. No one should have to change or hide the beautiful features they were born with, to please the world.
Being unique in your own way is what makes you beautiful. |
