Beauty

'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.'

- Ode to a Grecian Urn J.Keats


The truth about beauty is scary--almost 700 out of 864 girls are dissatisfied with themselves. What does that say about our curvy nation obsessed with weight loss? That we're hypocrites? That we're setting ourselves up for failure? Have we ever stopped to ask ourselves why beauty has to be a photoshopped model that weighs an unhealthy amount? Why is beauty defined by weight or height or skin color or the product that we use in our hair? Why is beauty not how we celebrate our lives day to day?
