“Being a Dream Girl is never going to be about what you look like or how much you weigh. After all, our physical appearances are just reflections of our inner worlds. What makes you a Dream Girl is your emotional sensitivity, your self-awareness, and your ability to communicate who you are effectively and compassionately in the world.”
In a world where how you look tends to be of greater value compared to how you actually are as a person, I have to say that I feel rather lost and confused. It is pretty strange. When I was less in touch with myself, I actually put a lot of emphasis on how I was perceived based on my outward appearance. Unfortunately, I have to admit that there was a time that it was everything to me and to choose to be in a world where you place the spotlight on yourself was not exactly the healthiest thing…especially for someone who was not as secure with oneself like I was back then. I was young and superficial so I would get affected by the most minor comment on how I looked, weighed, dressed or appeared to be. Looking back, it was quite silly but I guess that I had to go through that stage to be where I am now.
I find nice people attractive. I am not the kind of person who isn’t secure herself to admit when someone is really beautiful. I think the mark of being absolutely in sync with oneself is when you can appreciate the positive traits of people around you and that includes their beauty. I find myself appreciating people who are attractive but I know that it doesn’t need to always begin or end with the physical aspect. For me to consider a person beautiful in the complete sense of the word usually involves seeing inner traits from them that truly make them deserving of such a label. At the very basic level, I find that no amount of exercise, designer clothing or carefully applied makeup can make a person beautiful if they are not kind…at the very least. There is something that radiates just so naturally from people who are pleasant and delightful. I just guess they possess an extraordinary kind of charm that you can’t fake. You have to exude it from inside out. I can only wish that I can somehow imbibe such traits not that I find myself on the right track and prioritizing all the right things (FINALLY!)
On the day I wore this blush outfit, I had the pleasure of meeting and having a delectable dinner at Sage Bespoke Grill with two such women: Jennifer and Frida who I have to say are primary examples of alluring and truly beautiful women who just radiate their loveliness. My outfit was delicate and very feminine- a blush hued pleated off shoulder top and a satin midi skirt- and somehow I felt just at ease with the two women I had the privilege of meeting and of course with two more: my lovely mother and my awesome sister in law and faux twinnie Dominique. It was a truly enchanted evening as I was able to spend it with such marvelous women and of course with the two most important men in my life- my dad and my brother. I have to admit that it is a nice thing to know that magical moments are possible despite the stress and chaos that surrounds us. It actually is all around us. All we need to do is open our eyes.
