BE-YOU-TIFUL

I've been IN LOVE with Alessia Cara's music for a while now! Her album Know-It-All is AMAZING!😜  My favorite song of hers is, 'Scars to Your Beautiful'. She said this album is another anthem-like song. It's about body image for young women. It's aimed at young women... or women in general, but likes to think, guys can relate as well, she hopes anyways. It's about the standards that women have to deal with all the time. Whether it's in media, or in just regular life. We're just expected to do, and to look like so many different things, and it's so hard to keep up with sometimes. And these things that we're being told, whether it's indirectly or directly, they get into our heads and it got to the point where now girls can't look at themselves and just feel happy anymore. We have to find something that we don't like, or something that we have to compare ourselves too. And that can get so tiring. It's just such a wrong message to send to people, and it's just a bad thing to put in our heads.

I think Alessia hit the nail on societal's butt by saying this. "Often times, the world both directly and indirectly tells us that we shouldn't be happy with ourselves if we don't fit certain beauty standards. Scars to your beautiful is a reminder that beauty isn't only one look, shape, size, or color. It isn't even always tangible. It comes in an endless amount of forms and we need to recognize that. So I wanted to make a song that was saying to block out all that noise, and to just appreciate yourself, and not go to these extremes to love yourself." 

One of my all time favorite quotes is: "No matter what shape or size you are, you should feel confident in your own skin. You should feel like a beautiful woman, no matter what!" 💛💛
