Embracing Our Differences: A Call to See the Beauty in Each Other

A Reflection on Unity and Individuality Hello everyone! I’m not sure who needs to hear this, but embracing differences has been on my mind a lot lately. Each of us is very special and completely different, as much as we are alike. Unfortunately, because we’re alike and different, we tend to irritate and nitpick each other. We want others to be exactly like us, but we are not … Understanding…

Embracing Our Differences: A Call to See the Beauty in Each Other

[bomdiaalegria-blog]

Boa tarde! Yesterday a friend of ours brought us oh so many lemons... and they came in all shapes: One looked like a pumpkin, one looked like a pear, one looked like an avocado... There were bigger ones, smaller ones. But what was the best about them was invisible: Their smell. They all had the same great, refreshing smell of lemon that immediately reminds you of a fresh breeze, good vibes, happy summer days... 🍋 Also we as humans come in all shapes, we have the shape that nature choose to give us, each and every one of us has their very own individual appearance and that variety makes it so interesting and beautiful. However, we still run after ideals that someone – not nature – created and thus made us forget to value our natural beauty. But someone can be "perfect" due to these man-made standards and still not have a radiating appearance. And then there are people that are far from this "ideal" but they radiate a energy that is mesmerizing and immediately fascinates us. 🍋 If we go back to lemons it would be the most perfectly shaped, normed lemon, that "idea" of a lemon how we see it in commercials or how they get cultivated for supermarkets – and yet if it´s lacking this wonderful lemon smell (which most of the lemons in supermarkets do...) it kind of instantly loses that appeal. 🍋 Imagine closing your eyes: Which lemon would you pick? 🍋 It´s about more qualities than fitting a certain norm that got created and by doing that was disregarding that what´s really beautiful can´t often be perceived with our eyes only... Individuality, energy, the "scent" of something or someone is the much more real thing we should celebrate. And we encourage you to start doing this today! 🍋💛 #celebratingindividuality #realbeautycomesinallshapesandsizes #diversity #natureknowsbest #natureisbeautiful (em Lisbon, Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtlVe2PHE7T/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1grwawh3usaj5
