Essence of Beauty

Beauty is becoming the fear of so many young women. Why is society and social media imposing standards of beauty that are beyond what is really considered beautiful? We don't need to feed a shadow that haunts us every time we see ourselves in the mirror. The name I gave this blog recently is "Kalon". The definition of this word is simple, "beauty that is more than skin-deep, the ideal of physical and moral beauty". I chose this name for many reasons. It seems that each day that passes inside beauty is forgotten. We seem to eat less, dress tighter and spend so much time reflecting an image that doesn't represent us. But think of this, when was the last time you asked yourself, am I beautiful? Look in the mirror and answer the first thing that comes to your mind. I've seen so many women that answer "No" and this crushes me. Being beautiful is putting a smile on your face every day even if something is troubling you. Being beautiful is waking up each morning and looking messy after a good night sleep. Being beautiful is believing you are absolutely flawless inside and out. I can’t imagine a homogeneous world. Our differences, our culture, our background is what defines us and makes us unique. “Kalon” is beauty beyond what we know, beauty beyond words. This is what you are, beautiful.
