from that so you can still accept that beauty standards have a role in our lives and that there are certain things that maybe do align with the implementation of beauty standards that you enjoy like I said getting your nails done or investing in a really nice outfit or following trends that is still totally fine as long as it doesn't feel like necessary as long as it doesn't feel enforced as long as it doesn't feel like if I don't do these things, my life will not be as good as I want it to be. So I really hope that you've enjoyed this kind of more rambly episode. Honestly, it's just been something on my mind. I've just been really considering attractiveness recently really been like looking at people on the street and being like you're attractive I can tell why is that why do I want to keep looking at you why do I keep looking at myself in the mirror why do I keep picking at my skin picking at little things on my face or my body that I just don't quite like where does that come from so I hope that this has been interesting fascinating enlightening that you have at least learned something and if you haven't learned something I hope that it's just left you feeling a little bit better a little bit more encouraged by the fact that you are not the only one who was thinking about beauty in maybe a dangerous toxic way I think it is very universal in our 20s. Something that we should discuss more, something that we should be more open about, that this is not an isolated issue. All of us are consuming very similar content, feeling very similar things about what society expects from us in terms of looks. So thank you so much for listening to today's episode.
