the first step towards confidence is not being afraid to be ugly
once you get over the fear of being unattractive and stop equating beauty with other good things in life (friends, love, happiness) it’s a lot easier to love yourself unconditionally
your job is not to sit around and be pretty and easy on everyone else’s eyes
your job is to do whatever the fuck you want and look however the fuck you want while doing it
photoshop before & after of stars PRAISED FOR THEIR BEAUTY. ughhhhsflsdlekgh even they can’t win.
spread the word: the beauty standards set forth by hollywood, the fashion industry, the advertising industry, and other forms of mainstream media aren’t obtainable by anybody.
If you retain nothing else, always remember the most important Rule of Beauty.
“Who cares?” ― Tina Fey, Bossypants
“ One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, it’s your home, and you must decorate it. ”

“ I’m not beautiful, I don’t care. One thing women don’t know is that you don’t have to be beautiful. You don’t have to be beautiful to fuck anyone you want. ”

“ One of the ways I started to love and accept my body was by actively living in my body. That is to say, sometimes, I grab my squishy bits for no reason. I trace my stretchmarks. I play connect-the-dots with my freckles. I own these things, because they are mine, and to me, that’s something worth celebrating. ”

It’s really fucked up just how much they photoshopped her to look smaller.
You think I don’t see how the hips don’t match up with the guy on the right by a fucking mile because they shrunk down her hips?
Or how the pelvis on the guy on the left looks awkwardly shaved off so they could put in the white backdrop so it’s looks like she takes up less space? I fucking notice.
And they have the audacity to think they’re doing fat girls a favor by tossing in a few paid male models to grope at her breasts so that for once a fat girl gets to feel wanted. That for once a fat girl gets to feel fuckable by the kind of men that we are told will never want us.
Fuck this photoshoot because my body doesn’t need your faux pity acceptance.
Rebel Wilson deserves so much more than this. She deserves raw, unforgiving attention because she is a raw, unforgiving person just like the rest of us.
fierce as fk ^
even rebel’s face is like FUCK YOU LOT
I’ve finally accepted that these people get what true happiness and love are.

“ The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen. ”
