Beauty cannot be defined, nor can it be contained. It comes from within, and this beauty can come in every body size.
Hello you, yes I’m talking to you, the girl who strives to fit into the norm of the conventional definition of ‘beauty’ being passed along since the times of your grand mom!
You refuse your favorite food and wear loose clothing to hide your gorgeous curves as you feel you’re “fat”, feeling dull and unwanted, you sigh.
Let me tell you how wrong you are in succumbing to defined terms because ‘beautiful’ cannot be confined to just a certain physical form.
You don’t need to fit into that skirt that you saw in the magazine in order to be called ‘attractive’, please trust me on this, darling.
Beauty is too liberal and free to be caged to a specific definition. Open your eyes, see how beautiful you are when you choose to shed your inhibitions.
It doesn’t matter what society says, all you have to do is love yourself to see that beauty comes in all sizes unlike what’s taught by media sources.
When you run in the fields or swim in the ocean and your body glistens with sun and sand, being beautiful is taking in all those moments and making the most of the life you have.
Your ‘big feet’ travelling the world is beautiful and your ‘stodgy hands’ helping the needy is beautiful. Beauty is within and around you and in the joy you bring by just being ‘You’.
Beauty lies in the nooks and crannies of your ‘love handles’ and your ‘muffin top’. Because beauty doesn’t like to be chained only in glamorous pictures that are photoshopped.
Beauty lies in your smile and your wrinkles, your stretch marks and your double chin, in your sacrifices and your fearlessness, and your generous heart beating softly within.
Beauty is as vast as the Universe then how can you fit it in just one size? You are perfect the way you are– Believe in that and now go Shine!
Live life to the fullest, spread love, laugh hard, leave a mark with your loving deeds. You’ll see how gorgeous life is when you bring forth the beauty that lies within.

When she was sixteen, the catastrophic clutches of destiny snatched away her parents. They passed away in a road accident and Neena was devastated. Relatives thronged her now gloomy house and soon it was decided that she should be married off.
