I think our criticism of others&#39; appearance says more about us than them. Yes, I do it too, but I&#39;ve become more conscious about it. And I am getting to the point where I don&#39;t care what someone might think about me. If I get compliments, great. If you hate what I&#39;m wearing or how I&#39;m wearing it--hey, your problem, not mine.Unmanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02430139387595895191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22942201.post-69886299884797933382011-12-07T08:59:52.027+05:302011-12-07T08:59:52.027+05:30Can I give you a ginormous hug for this post? :) Thanks from the bottom of my heart!<br /><br />I&#39;ve let go of a lot more than &#39;shame&#39; or dislike...I think females are taught to be very careful of all their body parts...hide it, cover it up, if your strap shows or your dupatta falls...cringe. Make sure your dress stays put the way its supposed to...well, I&#39;m sorry, I&#39;ve had it. <br /><br />Why do we have to apologise for our bodies? First of all we&#39;re kept out of public spaces esp in India thru so many overt and subtle ways, then if we do happen to claim our right to be there, we don&#39;t have to keep busy checking if we&#39;re attired respectably. <br /><br />I&#39;m tired of dressing according to others&#39; likes and dislikes...it&#39;s been freeing, so liberating to wear what I want when I want, and to hell with what people think. In fact, I&#39;ve found if I&#39;m uber-confident...people just don&#39;t even have an opinion...they just accept me the way I present myself. Does my rambling make sense? :)starry eyedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02821016011330573083noreply@blogger.com
