The Beauty Trap

We are being manipulated into wanting these bodies for ourselves that are physiologically impossible - that’s why most people have to get surgery to achieve that ideal.

It is violence, it is toxic, and it is so BORING.

It is boring (!) that there’s a uniform idea of what an attractive body looks like.

And it’s not like this is a trend.

This isn’t makeup or fashion and nothing about this is short, experimental, fun. This obsession with a specific body type deprives the soul and robs people of their mental well-being.

Tell me, who decided to put restrictions and limits on beauty?

You are intrinsically beautiful.

You are a part of the fabric of life and without you, yes YOU specifically, the world would be different.

There are going to be a lot of people stuck in the trenches of this belief system, but you can unlearn this idea that a beautiful body comes in only a few variations.

We’re not just our bodies, but we are not separate from them. And yes, we don’t exist to be beautiful. But I think life is a lot more colorful/uplifting when you can find beauty in most things. And if you can find beauty in the small things, you should be able to find the beauty in yourself.
