Age is one thing that keeps increasing day by day as long as the person is living. No matter the height, the shape, the size or even weight of the person, his/ her age will be a constant reminder of growth in them.
Women especially young ladies tend to pay attention to every little detail in their lives. If she gains extra weight, she worries on how to lose some weight just to fit her "perfect imaginary look". If she loses weight or begin to feel too diminutive in stature; worry on how to gain weight sets in. There are other cases too where young ladies bother about their looks like:
- When pimples appear on her face
- When her skin gets darker or fairer than she prefers it to be
- She bothers about her hair growth
All of these varies with the individual. A lot of people have different problems.
Growing up as a young lady and seeing my mates look more mature than me, I felt a bit intimidated. Yes, I used past tense 😬 because I have realized that I need to look beyond my physical appearance. As a lady in my 22 years, there were times I used to worry about the fact that I have small breasts, baby face, slim stature. Younger girls especially the rude ones look down on me because of my features. When I even tell them my age, they'll be like, "I thought you were 18 or 20 ". Those times I look at my mates with their full/round breasts, perfect curves , mature looks and I 🤔 wonder what I did wrong that made me not to look like then.
But that was "me" in naivety. That was "me" questioning God about His perfect creation. I look beyond my physical appearance now. I look at what I have achieved in my early twenties or what I'm yet to achieve. I have all it takes within me, I believe so, therefore looks don't really matter. Not that they don't matter at all but they're not my priorities. I've come to realize that setting my priorities right is one of the basic keys to success. I have this confidence that my goals are primary and I move with it. Ever since I started moving with confidence, I gained respect for myself anywhere I go. "Nobody can make me feel insecure without my consent".
DO YOU FEEL OLDER OR YOUNGER THAN YOUR AGE? Yes I used to feel younger than my age but now I've learnt to look beyond that. I have aspirations to achieve, dreams to fulfill, goals to accomplish. Besides I know that when I get married, the curves will be fuller😂. I mean I don't have a reason to burden myself with that anymore. I'm worth more than my looks or what anyone thinks of me.
