I am responsible for the way I turn out to be. I don't give a f* how I look to others, I stopped exercising because of chronic eczema, and of course aging plays a part too. However, botox is the last thing on my mind.
To cheer myself up, I had my hair cut real short (tomboyish) yesterday and I feel good about it. Yes, it is a bold decision but I am pleased that it suits me and my personality; and it is not a style most faces can wear. My confidence returns.
Yes, it is a harsh fact that I am no longer the pretty old me but sexiness is a state of mind, a comfortable state of being. To be sexy without pouty lips and hour glass figures, I find the following character traits to be the best indicator:
- Have your own signature style. Stand up for your values and beliefs.
- Self-confidence is the key. Believe that you are worthy and valuable and be comfortable in your own skin.
- Making a difference in others' lives is part of your self ID.
- Live a life of passion and purpose.
- Be responsible for how your life unfold.
- Live a life of honesty. Liars are never sexy!
- Be authentic. Accept yourself for who you are and what you like.
Our superficial culture honors the young and the thin. Supermodels are humans too and aging is something they must face up to sooner or later. Instead of focusing my time and energy on 'making' myself beautiful, I choose to go deeper and work on deepening my intelligence, expanding my wisdom, enjoy the many life experiences, and strengthen my character. This is my interpretation of 'sexiness'.
Perceptions of beauty are different all over the world and they change over time. What matters is not how you look to others but how you look at yourself. What do you think?
