The pyramid of Confidence

Why do we as women lack so much confidence? We look at our reflection in the mirror and hate what we see. How is it that we can hate our reflection? Hate ourselves. Our bodies. Were given these bodies, they're our temples. The home and shell of our souls. Yet we hate the way it looks outside. Why? Because we've been brainwashed. Were lead to believe that the image that we see in the media is the way that were meant to look. It's the media's idea of beauty. If you don't look that way then you are not beautiful. Well, that's not true. Were all different. No one looks exactly alike. *Unless you have a twin, but even so there are things that set them apart so that you can tell the difference* So if everyone looks different then how is it that one look is the set definition of beauty? Are we not all beautiful? There are characteristics about us all that makes us beautiful, makes us different, special, unique. Why not embrace that uniqueness and celebrate it? Why not be different and be our own kind of beautiful? Why not be the type of beautiful that people cant figure out? The type where people want stare because they can't put their finger on it but it's something about you. Be your own kind of beautiful. Not what everyone else says is beautiful. When you look in the mirror you should love what you see, and if you don't it's time you learned to love it because your not going to be given another body. This is the only one you've got, and the only one you'll get. Hating it will get you no where. Neither will harming it. Cutting yourself... It's a bad habit that people have. Cutting their arms and legs when they're sad, or depressed or things aren't working out. I personally could never do that due to my fear of needles. But some people can and do. That only harms your body, and leaves nasty scars on you that never go away. Why destroy your body? I believe that if you cut yourself there's hope that one day you will once again regain the love for your body, but when you do you'll regret the scars that are left behind. So as a word of advice, don't do it...
One thing that i've noticed is that the "Big Girls" are the ones with the most confidence. They don't give a shit!!! They wear what they want, and they do it with confidence! They are flawless and fierce, and loving life in their bodies! They have so much confidence it's crazy! They're rocking bikini's, lingerie modeling, and everything! I wish I had that type of confidence. We should all wish we had that type of confidence. But confidence isn't something you can buy or acquire in a day. It's something that takes time and has to be built within yourself. So my suggestion is that we all begin building our pyramid of confidence and begin living our lives with confidence.
