What is beauty?
The more the media gets invloved in our lives, the more it tells us that we suck. The more it tells us that we need to be prettier, skinnier, smarter or whatever. It honetly is driving a lot of people I know as well as myself into this spiral of self hate, and low self worth. You look in the mirror and all you can see is what you need to change and what you aren't, and wish you were. I am more than postive that the world would be such a better place if appearance was not "valued" so much. I am sure that the majority of people would be better people because they would feel better about themselves, therefore not feeling the need to down others to be able to feel better about themselves. But really, what is beauty? We can all call ourselves ugly and fat, but truly, what is it we are striving to be? I keep thinking about myself, and the more I do, the more I think I am ugly as fact, and the more I think people think the same as I do. I really just long to let got of this, as well as the people I know and care about a lot to be able to too. It fustrates me that Satan does this to us. The only thing I can think of is just praying him off. God is beauty, he created me, and therefore, may my beauty be in him. As easy as that is to say, in reality it is one of the hugest struggles people face today. Sigh, when will this all end. How long oh LORD?

interesting blog MJ! I think about this subject often. I think about how the ideal "beautiful" is in constant change and is therefore unreachable. Everyone, no matter how gorgeous they truly are, has something which isn't good enough yet. A lot of it is an inner struggle which needs to be dealt with within rather than outside. If you feel beautiful inside then that reflects on the outside. I am beautiful. I tell myself that everyday and it helps. One of these days I will fully believe that and not have to worry about what others are saying and thinking about my appearance. MJ you are beautiful. Look in the miror every so often and tell yourself that truth. I hope it helps your inner beauty flourish.
