How To Be Body Confident Living In 2017

The last few years have seen such a change since the growth of social media and I feel that 2017 is at its peek. I think every female and probably males too can relate to going on social media and afterwards feeling pretty shitty about yourself. It is so easy to buy into all the fakery that is on social media, and its such a huge platform that it should be being used for encouraging women and not doing the opposite.

I feel like there's so many young girls now that really believe that this perception of beauty that we see all around us is the be all and end all and if they're not that, they aren't anything which I think causes a lot of mental illness in young teens.

I was quite lucky as when I was a young teenager I didn't actually feel this pressure as social media wasn't as a big deal. Also When I was growing up I majorly got into YouTube and of course as everyone says, back in 2010 YouTube was a very different place. No one was paid for mentioning a product and people used it as a place to express themselves and I do feel lucky that I had good solid role models like Grace Victory, through my teenage years.

Of course I'm not saying that I've never had problems with the way I looked, because I had body dismorphia for most of my teenage life, but social media wasn't involved in that as it wasn't so popular. I didn't go on Instagram every day and see all these beautiful models living there perfect lives and I didn't compare myself in that way, I just knew I wasn't right.

2017 has been a year of trying to change the stereotypical image of perfect and I think everyone should be reminded of this as much as possible. Absolutely no one in this world is perfect ans this is something I've really learnt this year. I defiantly haven't had a good year so far ahaha, but this is something i'm so grateful that has come out of it. I can say after many years of feeling shit about myself and not good enough for anyone, I finally love myself. I think there's multiple reasons why, but the most important reason is that I refuse to let those voices in my head win. I am a very stubborn person lol so once I'm on something that's it. Just because someone else is beautiful doesn't mean your not, and just because someone else is good at something, look at all the things your good at.

We need to start encouraging each other instead of constantly pointing out each others flaws. And I do have days when I feel like I look like shit and I don't feel 100 but I don't fucking care anymore and there is so much power in that because when you feel confident no one can make you feel ugly. At the end of the day who the fuck cares if your hairs a mess or your make ups not on fleek, no one and you shouldn't either. And if they do well fuck them. Your a queen and you should act like one. Obviously don't be so over confident where your a bitch lol, but own your shit you know. Do you and do it well, and don't let anyone tell you shit. If it makes you feel good to post selfies everyday, then you fucking post them pics because its good to celebrate the fact that you love being you.

That is the real definition of beauty not this Fake Kim K shit. Being yourself having a kind heart and being a strong man or women and once you've found your own beauty no one can take it away from you! This is something all these young girls should know and this is how I am going to raise my daughters and tell my little sisters because 2017 and on wards needs more strong women who know they're worth!
