Become Your Own Standard Of Beauty!

“What if men truly couldn’t control how we felt about ourselves, and obtaining one of them by way of a relationship was no longer considered a womanly achievement?”

“Regardless of what the world desires, I am my own standard of beauty.”

I love to ask myself if I would still choose to be me if I could be someone else. And while there are a few physical attributes I would probably change, I am pretty happy with who I am. I truly wouldn’t want to be anyone else.

If you must know, if I had the option to change anything I would want to be very tall, like 6 feet in height. I would probably want to have wider hips. I believe I didn’t receive any child bearings hips because the spirits knew I wouldn’t want to bear children in this lifetime! At least that’s what I like to tell myself. Perhaps I would make my nose a tad bit more narrow as well.

But one thing’s for sure: I would still choose my dark skin, even if I had the option to have lighter skin. I thoroughly enjoy my mocha skin, as I resemble the original woman. There’s something very powerful about being a deeply melanated woman who is in tune with the cosmos, and also loves her connection to it.

Okay, maybe I would decide for my skin to be even darker! I can admit that I feel a twinge of jealousy…
