Our Self Conscious Selves

People are extremely self conscious when it comes to their bodies. Don't get me wrong, I'm also self conscious but we all are. But I see more and more people, mainly teenage girls freak out over their bodies. Which is normal, I mean you're not going to love how you look everyday. That would just be unreasonable.

There's this stupid fad going around the Internet called the "belly button challenge." where girls basically wrap their arms around their waist and see if they can touch their belly button, which automatically means you "skinny" apparently.

First in order to even be able to reach you belly button you have to have a extremely small waist line, which means you have to be petite and have a small rib cage so if you have athletic body shape or you're just naturally curvy you're out of luck.

You have to have ZERO body fat, yes some girls are naturally lean or have spent their whole lives in sports and so they don't have much fat on them but many girls don't because it's just how people are.


And finally you have to have long arms in order to even make it around.

That is what qualify as skinny which obviously means you're better at life just because you're judged by a stupid fad. Why do we complain about ourselves and bring ourselves down by judging ourselves from a magazine cover? Or the media which judges a girls size 0 jeans instead of how beautiful she is even if she's a "gasps" size 8. PHOTOSHOP people, it's an extremely handy tool when you want to wash away you're imperfections. But your imperfections make you human.

Some people are naturally skinny, some are naturally curvy, some are short, and some are tall. DEAL WITH IT. Don't bring someone down because you don't think they qualify as beautiful, who are you to say what's beautiful. You can't, society can't, and the media can't. It's absolutely fine to work out and feel good about yourself but it's also okay to have a slice of cake.

The meaning is don't judge even if you think you're right, because you aren't.
