Natalie, I genuinely resonate with your thoughts and understand your concerns. You have a remarkable, universal voice that speaks for many. However, if you'll allow me, as I often do, I'd like to offer a different perspective. There are women who see themselves as stunning and want to express that; for them, it's a way to embrace their joy and boost their self-confidence. Some even consider these moments celebratory. From a broader standpoint, society should offer chances for diverse groups to share their happiness, even if it sometimes causes discomfort for others. This is the delicate balance of life, where making everyone happy is a formidable challenge. We can't prevent extroverts from hosting late-night parties just because we, as introverts, seek quiet. The best we can do is to choose our surroundings wisely.

Beauty is inherently subjective. Our ancestors drew inspiration from nature, and perhaps, if they encountered human forms mirroring natural patterns, they would deem them captivating. In our contemporary era, the media and the fashion industry have sculpted a unique beauty standard. Everyone, without exception, might find certain things or individuals more appealing than others, regardless of conscious judgment — this is a cognitive inclination. Of course, our aim shouldn't be to label or rank beauty, but rather to encourage understanding and acceptance of diverse personalities without preconceived notions based on appearance. Your universal voice is always heartening, Natalie. Another insightful piece, as always. 😊🌹
