Soooo I'm actually pretty irritated... that happens more than it should but right now I'm irritated about something that matters. Not that I forgot to get ice cream at the grocery store or anything like that.
I'm taking a liberal studies class in college this semester... that type of beginning does not bode well for the rest of the sentence... and its about outsiders and outcasts and how these groups are represented in literature, the media, etc. Anyway the first group we're discussing is WOMEN.
So it became obvious to everyone that our culture's current beauty standards are absolutely ridiculous. I knew this already but this focus on it today has really been driving me crazy. I have a cold, so this morning I did not feel like getting all dolled up. I don't feel like I have to put on make-up and do my hair everyday because I'm just me. I honestly don't care what people think most of the time, but that doesn't mean I don't want to be pretty. I want to be pretty...most girls do. I want to look good... but I wish good meant something else to our society. I feel absolutely terrible when I think about this current beauty standard.
I don't have double D boobs or bleach blond hair!
I'm not 5'10" and I don't weigh 95 pounds
and I don't like feeling like I'm supposed to be those things!
That is not me but it does not matter because people think that is beautiful
As a woman, if you aren't those things then you aren't pretty
Advertisers want to sell you products so you can be that
Boys notice when you look like that
Your girlfriends point out when you've lost weight
It's days like today when the whole world seems to be screaming at me to bleach my hair and go get breast implants... when the world thinks I should rock a mini skirt and high heels with my hollister t-shirt and my Louis Vuiton bag like oh my god what the french!
Yeah days like this make me love Suicide Girls so much more.
I hope I get accepted because this would be the first time I felt like people liked me for me... the way I look being totally myself...
Me for ME
not trying to be anything but myself
I don't need to buy the products
I don't need to get the implants
I don't need to spend hours at the gym
I am what I am and I don't need to be anything else
I cannot wait to be appreciated for what I am
That is why I am here
So yeah... that's about it for today
Thanks for reading
