I've been thinking about this recently.
I, among other women, have been told all our lives that we are beautiful. And I'm not say I think they are lying, but I can't agree with them. We, as a society, are conditioned to call all little girls beautiful. As they grow up, we begin teaching them that some girls are more beautiful then others. Beauty is subjective. We even created makeup to correct our imperfections, make ourselves flawless, but then that tells our beautiful little girl that they may not be enough.
What is beautiful enough? I see articles about the most beautiful woman in the world.... what's with that?
Everybody has their potato days is what I call them. I have said to my dearest friends that I've been feeling like a potato, and just like the good friends they are, they tell me, you beautiful, because you wouldn't tell your close friend the resemble a tuber. however, the answer is, is there's really no such thing as beautiful enough.
It just has me wondering, if beauty is subjective, and everyone is beautiful, then why do we add so much credit to beauty? Everyone is beautiful in different ways, with their own qualities.
I don't know if this is my esteem talking, but I feel like everyone who tells me i'm pretty or beautiful is just humoring me. I feel like saying someone is beautiful is a conditioned response for nearly women for anything.
