Our body is not just flesh and bones. It’s a temple, a companion which stays by our side till we are alive. There are times when we are too hard on ourselves.
We start comparing ourselves or, say, our bodies with the ones that match the beauty standards set up by society. We do things because we’re driven by a desire to excel and do everything right, all the time. And fit in the category of ‘the perfect body, which is nothing more than a myth.
But is it even just and fair to do that with ourselves? Our bodies are a gift, and it is unique in their own way.
So if you feel bad about your body, just look into the mirror and embrace that beautiful creation.
