My hopes, both personally and for the world, with regard to body image and beauty perception are difficult to define. For me, I wish that I could accept my body how it is right this second.. but I am afraid that is not possible. I am willing to try. For the world, my hopes for body image and beauty perception are that every body is beautiful and unique. I hope that one day society does not have to judge women by their appearance and by what size jeans we wear or what a number on the scale says. I hope that one day the world can not impose impossible beauty ideals on women. I hope one day we can all look at one another and accept our differences and find beauty in everyone. I am not sure how I can begin to live my hope today. I feel as though these hopes are just that... hopes. They are not realistic and they are never going to happen for myself or for the world. Maybe, just for today, every woman I see I will make a mental note of one beautiful thing about her. I will attempt to do this for myself today, as well. I would also like to compliment a woman on something. I feel as though in today's society women are so competitive and cold with one another. What're we fighting for? Do we even know? I'm not quite sure, but I do know I feel it. What I want most for myself and for the world is for us to stop trying to change ourselves and just be. And smile about it.
