Sometimes I keep wondering why I am putting make up on almost every day. Why I am straightening or curling my hair. Why my clothes have to match my coat or why I want that scarf in the store to embrace me and want it to be mine. We (almost) all keep saying that we’re doing this for ourselves. That it has nothing to do with anyone else. But that is so not true. When people see you, you want them to think that you are at least a little bit beautiful. So you won’t feel worthless. You want to feel that you have a purpose in life. You want to be ‘beautiful’ every day. And that can be such a huge deal in our society and life. It’s just so wrong that a lot of us wish we were someone else.
Because of the girl in the video, I realized after 18 freaking years what ‘being beautiful’ really is. ‘’The beautiful people are the people who focus on trying to make other people feel beautiful.’’ And I don’t understand why this took me so so long to realize it. How you make other people feel, says a lot about you. I have times where I feel so alone, even when I am surrounded by many people. When you think you are not loved in this world. And I am sure I am not the only one. But I was just so focusing on myself and being busy with ‘being beautiful’, while I actually had to focus on other people and make them feel beautiful by (for example) complement them. Because when you do that, I believe you automatically become so beautiful yourself. And you will feel that as well. Like how the clouds instantly become beautiful by the sun.
We have to complement one another so much more. You know that times when you see someone and you just know that they are so nice and awesome, you think that they deserve to be told that they are ‘beautiful’. And you know, just do it. Tell them how freaking beautiful they are. Because when you give your light to others, they will give it back. You will also get compliments and you will be so beautiful. You can save someone’s life by making them feel beautiful, because you don’t know what they are going through. Everybody is going through something.
On our blog we tell you what the perfect hair mask is, how to get the perfect line on your eye and how good an eye shadow palette is, so maybe you think we tell you how ‘perfect’ you can look. But make up is just for fun. We should be able to feel beautiful without make up. Make up only has to be something extra that we like to do. On this blog we just share our ‘hobby’. It’s horrible that in our society beautiful means having the perfect lashes or eyebrows, or being perfect over all. But it is time that we change the meaning of ‘beautiful’. And change people’s lives.
