Beauty and Fashion Belong to All of Us

I've written many a take addressing all women's body sizes and shapes and skin colors and hair types to combat some people's attitudes that beauty and fashion do not belong to all of us. If you are a living breathing human being, you have the power within you to be the beauty you want to be and to wear what makes you explode with happiness. There aren't any restrictions to that and you should never allow there to be.

I wish I could scream it from the mountain tops to women in particular that, when you get into that negative head space where you are constantly putting yourself down and feeling as though no one likes the you, you present to the world, that if you look in the mirror, despite what anybody else says, ultimately it boils down to you being the only person preventing you from your own happiness and celebrating who you are.

Honestly, if we calculated all the time we spend just worrying about how we look to other people that aren't us, or trying to live up to some overly photo-shopped magazine "standard of beauty," or not wearing what we want because we're too ashamed, embarrassed, or afraid, we could literally cure cancer!

No matter who you are and what you look like, someone is always going to come for you and hate on you and try to convince you that you aren't worthy or beautiful. These people are often projecting their own life long insecurities onto you because it's easier to point to you, then to point to themselves in the mirror. Yes, it is absolutely difficult some days to tune that all out, and you are going to have some low days where you feel like crap, but let your good days far out number the bad.

When you see those confident people and you wonder how it's even possible that they can be so confident and seemingly not care about others opinions, it's because you do have to mature to a point where you pull the focus from the external to the voice inside your head that determines your happiness, and what you want, and how you feel about yourself. Even if you have to fake it at first, this self-confidence, after a while, saying and preaching self-love and acceptance, will become second nature, but you have to allow your own voice to be loud and clear. If someone doesn't like what you look like or what you wear, that IS their problem and not yours because the only you, you should be, is the you, you love and who is confident in her own skin.
