Pretty Privilege is Sometimes A Curse
Hey there fellow tumblr users.This is my first blog ever and it is just completely full of my opinions or well in some cases facts.
TW: suicide
So I don't think many people noticed but on 30th January the death anniversary of of Miss USA 2019 i.e.. Cheslie Kryst took place. Cheslie Kryst commited suicide by jumping off from her apartment in Manhattan .In her final letter she revealed that she was suffering from high functioning depression. While all of this happened, people around the world had formed their own opinions. According to them someone "gorgeous" could not have depression and commit a suicide as everyone loved pretty people and there could be nothing wrong with them .Fans commented on her post that they couldn't believe that someone who was a former Miss USA took their life and was suffering depression.
This is where the problem lies .Everyone expects people who live up to the beauty standards of the society as ""privileged, lucky ,happy, carefree" as if they don't have any problems in their life and their job is just to match the expectations of other people .It negatively impacts those people and makes them set unhealthy standards for themselves. Other than that, women who have big breasts ,ass ,nice lips etc. are constantly sexualized ,stereotyped and cat called by men. Most of the male population thinks that having features like that just exist to satisfy and appeal them which is not really true at all.
First of all we should get rid of the beauty standards set by the society like having round ass ,hourglass body ,big boobs ,nice lips ,acne- free face ,fairness ,good eyesight ,a male with a height more than 6ft,broad shoulders,good hands,muscular etc. .While all of these can just be preferences, they should not be unanimously accepted by majority which unfortunately has already happened .The root of this cause is also social media. Social media is FAKE. Make sure you know that before making assumptions about someone else's life. All of it is just an act .Try not to compare yourself with others .Remember EVERYONE is beautiful. Coming to an end ,it feels nice to finally have typed this out since all of this has been going in my mind for a week.
Stay positive loves <3
