Celebrate 'YOU'

I was taking a ride on the local bus the other day,as usual the bus was crowded with workers and a bunch of school-uniformed teenagers. As expected, the bus was so chaotic and noisy, but somehow I still managed to grab a seat and silently spend some moments with my book. Surprisingly, my eyes wasn't on the pages, but on more to the conversation that's going on between the teenagers. Okay fine!! I was actually eavesdropping them :/


I managed to get some glimpse of what they are talking,Okay here it goes, there were three students (two girls and one guy),I have seen them before,in the same bus but it was weeks ago,and I still remember them because they were making so much noise the other day too.


The guy made a jokingly remark about one of the girl's body weight,and surprisingly the girl fought back with a bet. She challenged the guy that if she doesn't reduce her weight in one month, she would've had her name changed to something else. She added that after she had reduced her weight and straightened  her hair,there'll be lots of guys queuing behind her..
I was like....








I don't know why I felt that way,maybe because I was expecting a different answer. For God's sake,there's nothing wrong with her appearance though, she has a normal body weight, i mean she looks perfectly healthy and she has a very beautiful curly which i find no reason to straightened  it and what make me angry when she's doing all this just to attract guys...LAME.!!!!

I can't blame her though, we were brought up that way. The definition of beauty is over-rated,like we already fix on our mind that beautiful people are someone who's tall,slim,fair and so on. Beauty has no definition. Everything created by God is beauty itself and you are beauty too because God hand-created you.

It's essential for us to concentrate more on the inner part rather than spending bucks on repairing the outlook appearance. 

For me, real beauty can be seen through eyes, felt by heart and touched by words

You are beautiful and so do I :) So celebrate your uniqueness and celebrate yourself!!!!






P.S :For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.
P.P.s: I have to acknowledge  Viya and hamza for the awards,will do it soon :):)

    Candid post!

    Girls or Guys, both must be proud of what they are. Not of what they pretend to be.
    Girls go for makeup, bleaches and crash diets for guys, on the other side guys go hard on facials, steroids and Blah, blah blah.

    =D
    Oh, you can acknowledge the award(s) at your ease=D No pressure=p

    We can Thank GOD and appreciate his creation just by "BEING OURSELF"
    Changing the real me for someone else is like disrespecting the orinality, infact you lose yours...
    So just believe that you are perfect, infact in those eyes who loves you...

    I really like your post..!!
    Keep writing , Stay blessed :)
    take care..

    You are right. Every one is beautiful, in some way or the other. And I believe that how beautiful someone is cannot be judged from how he/she looks or others tell them to be. It's always a first hand experience that should matter.

    Nice read.

    Of course..it relates to one of your posts..where you talked about being fair complexioned.You know its kind of age talk..they are mostly with such a decision cause of peer pressure or they are made to think that way from the society they have been living in.Anyway who all understand there worth are priceless beauty and surely know how to celebrate themselves..

    Let's celebrate cutie pie :)

    Right!
    It all depends upon our mindsets, how we percieve things and there cannot always be a unity of thoughts or minds....therefore what matters most is to reconcile with the innerself!!!
    if that takes place then peace prevails and we might not want to change ourselves for someone else.....

    Your message was indeed a true, good, beautiful one. We are what we are, and we sure as hell aren't something bad, because GOD created us. And God, for sure, does not create garbage.

    Thanks for following me.

    :)
    I have had similar thoughts a number of times.. It somehow ends up as 'being a wannabe' notion with most of us.. and sadly, all that the world sees is the skin, not an inch beyond that..

    btw this coincides with my area of research
    we call it body image distortion in psychology

    hey thanks a lot for dropping by and thanks for the following too =D

    @Usama Rehman

    You're sooooo right!!! what matters the most is the way we accept ourselves and its not worth it to do it for someone else

    @ezazi
    hey there
    thanks for your comment and yes u are soo right,God doesn't create garbage and God never make mistakes ;)

    @aakash

    Assalamu alaikum.
    I feel for this girl. Maybe she grew up in a home where even her mother tells her she's fat. I did and I never became fat after high school. Please pray for her instead, that whatever insecurity she has, she can conquer it. :)

    i like d frst post script.
    'For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.'
    its a bit like wat ive often hrd- 'dont frown. u nevr kno whos fallin in love wid ur smile'

    tho abt d grl ur talkin abt, sumtyms ppl talk like dat jus cos dey r around deir frns u kno.
    v do a lot of bakwaas too. nevr really meant bt sed cos it feels rite in dat moment so i gues ur being a tad harsh dere :)

    contention tho is pretty valid.
    luk gud fr urself.
