Real Beauty v/s 'Ideal' Beauty

What is Real Beauty?
 
Is Real Beauty different from ‘Ideal’ Beauty?
 
 
If you’re a woman, are you happy with the way you look? Or do you think your forehead is too big, or you have a big nose, or your cheeks are too chubby? If you’re a man, how do you look at the women in your life? Do you think she’s ‘perfect’..followed by a ‘but’? Like a slimmer waist or shapely legs? 

A woman’s appearance has become the key factor in marking her identity. In today’s world, thanks to media and communication discourses’, women’s identity is being associated with how ‘thin’ and how ‘pretty’ they are.
 
This story is about a 'beautiful' woman who is a victim of such ideals..
She is insecure of her body...
& angry at herself...
She looks away & is tired of constantly trying...
& tries to hide her 'flaws'...
& she needs to believe she really is 'beautiful', irrespective of her age, colour and weight...
 
 
Love them for who they are, not for the way they look.
