Women´s Beauty

It is a hidden dream of almost every girl or woman to look gorgeously, to be at least once in a lifetime called beautiful, to see in someone´s eyes that she succeeded or to listen to praising words how awesome she looks like. Anyway, not all of us were born to be a model with the beautiful face, not all of us have the perfect figure and for sure not all of us have skills to represent ourselves in noble style, that´s why the goal to look beautiful might be for some of us hard work, for others it can become obsession and for some it might even end up with  death. Anyway, let´s start from the beginning.

When I look back, I am happy for childhood I enjoyed as a kid. We didn´t need to dye our hair at the age of 14, we didn´t use mascara at the age of 12, simply we were the kids with no need to pretend we are already adults. Nowadays, you can see little babies who are dressed as the adults, you can easily buy make up set for little princess, some babies have polished nails and twelve years old girls wear sexy clothes and if you see their face hidden under the thick layer of make up, you might get scared. Do kids really need this all?

In some countries are common contests like Child Beauty Peageants or Mini Miss where people vote for the most beautiful little girls. Once I have listed some magazine and have come across article with the pictures of Beauty Peageants in the USA. Honestly, I didn´t believe my eyes to see there the picture of maybe eight years old girl with thick layer of make-up, professional hair-style, who desperately longed for looking like adult woman. She even gave faces and poses as if she was some sexy model, which I found totally disgusting. Something like this didn´t give me impression like it is beauty idol but scary creature. I wonder what is this good for and on my mind is just the only one explanation. Maybe some kind of the satisfaction for unsuccessful mothers. Mothers, who decided to heal their complex – to make their little daughters famous since they failed or have never been so ambitious. I personally would lock up such parents in the madhouse. What about the demaged skin, demaged hair, all these artificial smiles, lost childhood, changed character etc. Poor these girls whose childhood is simply wasted thanks to some silly parent´s dreams.

Little girls grow up and as we all know, puberty is the period of life we care too much about our appearance, want to give the best impression, we want to rock. So many young girls suffer from anorexia, bulimia just to follow the trend to be slim and because they are unable to recognize when it is enough, when it is high time to stop starving, they end up in the hospital, some of them even die. If only one day would be the ideal of the beauty not skeleton but normal healthy looking woman, then so many lives could have been saved. Why am I talking about it? Some weeks ago I saw on the internet picture of twenty years old girl from Ukraine and her weight was 20kg. Seriously, she looked like skeleton and such picture made me without any doubt scared. How one can go so further like this to consider their body perfect since it is  just heap of bones. I know it is mental dissease and it is all in her brain but it is also fault of mass media. First of all they feed us with editted pictures of the models on the cover of the magazines and I am pretty sure not all, especially immature people are able to understand that it is mostly hard work of editors to create such cover with the perfect body. Secondly, how come they present such skeleton girl almost as a symbol because it was even written there that since she is idol for many young girls, she gives advice over the internet how to get such „great“ figure. So sad that nobody can´t stop her because in my opinion doctors should take care of her instead of media who are simply hungry for something interesting, who prefer posting the pictures of the girl which is slowly dying in front us.

It is the truth that „beauty doesn´t last forever, with time it fades.“ When women get older, can recognize the first symptoms of aging, there are some of them who has the problem to admit that they won´t stay young forever. Such women you can sometimes recognize easily. At the age of fifty they  wear clothes as if they were twenty, no matter if their figure is good enough or not. Another category are women who spend many on the plastic surgeries to look more attractive. So many women are able to do everything to get their youth back, actually it is all one big business. Unfortunately, even here we can find these who aren´t able to control themselves, who don´t know when to stop. Some women are so obsessed with their beauty that they are able to go through many plastic surgeries and they aren´t still satisfied with the results of it. In this case I think it might be another mental dissease but since they pay, why doctors should care if they are mentally healthy or not. I would say that women should accept the reality that nobody stay young forever and better enjoy their life, spend money on more important and enjoyable activities than on bigger lips or face without any wrinkle.

If I sum it up, I think that everything is about our own attitude. If we - girls, women are confident enough, if we are able to think rationally, find some silly trends useless, then we can survive without any problems in this jungle. Unluckilly there are some of us with low self - esteem, who underestimate themselves and blindly go to the extremes, which might cost them their own life. I just wish such people were surounded by more carrying relatives or friends who would be able to show them the reality, who would  be able to save their lives.

So dear girls and women, don´t pay so much attention to your appearance, better focus on who is hidden inside of you. Be happy if you have smart, loving partner, who prefers more your inner beauty instead of beautiful face or great figure.
