Society and the pressure to be beautiful

Yes it's true society and the pressure can in fact be beautiful at the very least a rewarding experience as long as you do not allow the powers that be set the pace by which "You" as in yourself feel beautiful. Lets look at societies idea of marketing beautiful how to make you feel that you have lived up to less potential then those we strive to be and look like. Never mind whats on the inside so they say they are selling you what i term unreachable by any means other than a miracle, or a whole lot of money you might happen to have just lying around. Yes society can and does sell beauty and it targets those of us whom feel somewhat inadequate in one way or another and wish we could be anyone of those beautiful society types at least on the outside. So while the pressure is on I'm remembering the beauty i have within
the type of beauty that no matter how hard society makes the pressure to become beautiful will clearly last a lifetime and only get more beautiful as we come into our own. This beauty has no pressures to be as in each of us it is limitless. So wake up people and stop letting society dictate how we should look and how we should feel about the way we really look. Everyones looking on the outside only the best of society is true from within.
