Physical Appearance

Physical appearance is the most important aspect of most of us. Some are very envious and conscious to have that "perfect" appearance. Those people from the magazine, fashion TV, thin, and pretty models. Today, it's not like that, let us break the stereotypes, some people say that "chubby is the new sexy" or they promote and tell to the world the idea of loving yourself which includes loving your body from head to toe, no matter what size you are. I don't care what other people say about my physical appearance. I am proud to say that "this is my body, and you can't judge me" Some young girls are having social anxieties on social media about their appearance when they see gorgeous girls with a sexy body.

The pressure is there, I know it because I'm like that, I'm very conscious about my body because I have scoliosis, whenever I see girls online posting sexy photos, I feel envious, and I get conscious about my body, and I always see my body in the mirror because I want to have a body like them. I always questioned myself, 'why do I have this disease?" but I learned to accept it. I'm also judged about my appearance. In the past, they would tease me about my hair because it's so frizzy, and I'm so thin, but I realized that it can be improved. Now, they would say to me that I am pretty, even though I'm still thin because I can't gain weight immediately, but they say I'm sexy.

In Davao City, Philippines (my country), some teases us that we are like a shrimp because we have a good body but do not have the face, but I doubt it because there are many beautiful and cute girls in Davao City. I'm 5'4 in height, have curves, and proud to say that I'm beautiful. I want my body to have a little bit of fat because I'm too thin, but that's me. This is my body. I'm Dresly, and no one can stop and judge me. We are unique and different, keep that in mind.

Do not be taunted by social media and the people around you. Always remember that God made us beautiful, handsome, and different. If you have a petite or chubby body, own it. Even though we have different features; different hair and skin color, short or tall, or whatever it may be. Do not change yourself because God made our face and body proportional, and just right, nothing to change like do plastic surgery. We are beautiful and handsome. If they can't appreciate it, then it's their problem, not yours.
