It feels like an eternity since the last time time I wrote anything on this blog and I'm fully aware that I say this almost all the time in the beginning of every post before.
Life after PT3 is quite a bliss to me although I have to admit that I have no idea on what to do sometimes and have to accept the boredom that's killing me. I spend a lot of my time being on social networks mainly Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. Now this is where I get some of my idea to write or rant about something that I discover on these social networks.
First of all, these social networks are mainly used by teenagers and young adults and I have to say that some of them are easily, I might want to emphasize, easily influenced by all of the bullshit that other people post/share on these sites.
If you're a person that reluctantly let the Internet to consume most of your time (like me, there's no denying in that), or just prefer the entertainment that's offered by the countless social networks we have these days, I think it's safe to assume that I bet all of you will at least cross over something, let's say a picture on Instagram or a tweet on Twitter or a post on Tumblr, that have girls striving and dying to be thin.
Before I get further on with this post, let me point out that there's nothing wrong to have a naturally thin figure for you women out there who are blessed with a high, sky-rocket level of metabolism. The reason why I want to write this post is to rant on how some people are so influenced by society's and the media's idea of beauty, or even the idea of what you would call perfect.
Maybe being thin have some of it advantages, uh let's say like it's not that hard to look for a pair of skinny jeans that fits you perfectly. (I don't know?? Because I'm obviously not thin.) But being thin sure as hell shouldn't make someone some kind of a special snowflake. Like seriously. I've seen enough people treating an individual with a thin figure like they're holy or an angel or something. Like seriously. We should all be treated the same despite the difference of our body figure and other physical aspect.
You like or admire that person just because they're thin? Or even envy them with all of your being just because they're petite and slim, and you're not? Ladies, there's so many things that's better to admire or even to be jealous of towards someone rather than the fact that they're thin.
It's fine to go on a diet or to go to the gym to workout if you're not comfortable with your body and decided to make a refreshing change, but it's definitely not fine when you shove the idea that being thin and skinny is considered as something crucial, important or perfect to other people. Don't make other people being tensed over your personal choice on a body figure.
Why can't all of us just accept ourselves the way we are? Why can't we just accept the fact that not being thin, petite, slender and slim is perfectly normal? Why can't we just accept the fact that it's not a sin to have some fat under your skin? There's other many things to worry about in our life, and worrying about gaining weight or not being thin like other girls that you follow on any social networks is like the last thing you should worry about. Heck, if you give yourself enough love and care to accept your body, anyone shouldn't even have to worry about this.
This post is a terrible mess and I don't know how to end it but let me remind all of you that you need to be kind to yourself. You don't need to follow other people's idea of beauty to feel beautiful or accepted. Goodbye, and take care.
(Let us take a moment of silence to pray for those souls who are already influenced by this stupid hype that's going on in our society.)
