What is beauty?

I've been having conversations with different friends about what determines if someone is beautiful. We constantly hear that beauty is only skin deep or true beauty is on the inside but that doesn't help some of us get dates.

I like to think I'm fairly attractive, I'm not saying I could be a super model because I'm way to short for that but I am beautiful in my own right. I'm not a size one at all and I don't think anyone should be that tiny but it seems like anyone over a size 2 isn't beautiful and I know that's not true because I'm a size 7 and I'm gorgeous. I'm not hating on the super slims but for me its not  a good look. I remember when I was that small and you could see my ribs and other bones and I didn't think it was attractive on me. 

My hair is also pretty short at the moment and at times I don't feel as attractive as I normally would. I've been wearing braids and weaves more often now to protect my hair during this fragile time and also because its so short I don't feel as beautiful as my friends and family say I am. Times have changed when a size 10 was the average in the 50's and now its a size three. Body size has gotten smaller and bust size has gotten bigger as well. Real or fake doesn't matter but breasts are out of control now. Hell plastic surgery has gotten out of control.  

I know I'm just rambling now but stick with me for a bit. Teenagers have been turning into plastics for a while now. When I was in high school almost 11 years ago I only knew one person who had a nose job and that's because she was tired of wearing a mask so she could breath at night. Girls are getting boob jobs as graduation gifts and they aspire to be playmates now. I'm sure playmates make a lot of money I'm not knocking them in any way but I remember being in history class reading about women who just wanted jobs that paid $3 a week. I think as a country our physical priorities have gone to hell. I'm not going to talk about politics or economics because I'm not there yet but our state governors election is this year so there is a chance that may come out. 

I'm done with this rant for today. My point is don't be made because you can't get down to a size 2. Many of us aren't made to be a size 2 and I know some smaller women who wish they could be a size 6 but can't pack on the pounds. Be happy with you and if you aren't happy then do something about it. Don't do any crazy weight loss programs without consulting a doctor and everyone doesn't look good with blond hair so stop and take an extra look in the mirror
