Hey, Is being ‘pretty’ something you aspire to? What a vapid question, right? It’s something I’ve been told all my life that I must be, though: pretty. Did I make every effort to adhere, base my self worth for years on the size of my waist and the male-gaze? Of course.
I think this is such an interesting topic. As a woman, it’s almost unspoken that yes, I do want to be pretty. But then you have to think about what pretty means to society, to you, to those you love, etc … could talk about this for ages!
When I was young, I thought pretty meant looking like the others girls. Now that I am in my late 30s, pretty means being yourself, accepting yourself. Never felt prettier than today.
