Feeling not beautiful can have a lot of reasons. Perhaps we are not complemented enough about who we are or how we look in our youth. But I think finding ourselves not beautiful is often something we do by ourselves.
Women can be very critical of each other. Of course, a woman can also be very critical to herself. That doesn't have to be unhealthy. But .... we are always comparing. And in the comparison lays always the conflict. So, instead of thinking "she's far more beautiful than I am" or the other way around, which by the way makes us really ugly, women can support each other by giving each other a complement which comes from the heart. That's making both beautiful. Our eyes become beautiful and also our smile. When a man gives me a complement it flatters me, but when a woman does so I'm surprised and she really can make my day.
I don't think being young and thin is necessarily beautiful. It just has its own charms. What makes women of all ages beautiful to see? The love we have in our hearts for ourselves and for the other person. Yesterday a saw a woman, I think she was from Suriname. She had a large bottom, and she was not very thin. But the way she carried herself had a lot to do with being proud of herself. It was very healthy, and a beautiful thing to see!
