Unfair... But Absolutely Lovely 😄✌

[Ashiyana]

Born and brought up in Delhi,the heart of India. that is heavily influenced by western culture but still deeply rooted in its orthodox southern thinking, I had my own issues with my body. When I refer to my body here, I essentially mean my face. With my face, I primarily mean my complexion. It is easy to guess that it was my dusky complexion that gave me the inferiority complex.Among the about sixty seven girls in my class, I am the second most dusky girl.With a fair elder sister, my comparisons with fair girls became just too obvious and convenient to others.Though I had people around me who told me how pretty I was because of my sharp features, but these compliments made my journey just a tad bit better. ‘Fair is beautiful’ and ‘every man wants a beautiful woman’. This says it all. By the age of thirteen, I had believed thatI was not beautiful.They say beauty lies in the eyes of beholder.Right outside the herd of such traditional blabbermouths, stood my non-conformist mastermind my teacher who throughout made me believe that I was good looking in my own nice ways. ‘Your heart makes your look good’ and ‘your words make you attractive’. Guided by the above statements, I decided to not look at those who were ready with a beauty advice at the snap of a finger. Rather I decided to focus on me. On my strengths. Onmydefinition of beauty. That's me in 2016. I grew up to be a polite and kind woman. I could make friends easily. I helped people by going out of my ways. Each time I helped somebody, Icould feel an iota of increase in my self confidence.

Beauty standards are different throughout the world. You features are very pretty, and I personally think your skin tone is too.
At all depends on where you're from. In countries where it is "normal" to be more tanned people perceive fair skin as beautiful. Here in Germany being tanned is considered beautiful by many people.

Do you want to live by the beauty standards set by society and media or do you want to live on your own terms? Real beauty is not what we see on the outside but that what we see in the inside. Don't understate yourself by comparing yourself with others. True beauty comes from inside your soul and it overflows into your skin
