So I’m watching the episode where Jasmine is saying how insecure she feels about herself, and how she doesn’t view herself the way Gino does.
It absolutely floors me that she doesn’t know how gorgeous she looked pre cosmetic procedures. It got me thinking about my daughter’s who are so beautiful and don’t see what I see, and even myself until recently.
Gino did an amazing job of reassuring her, but I just think it’s so sad. Our society just damages women so much. In so many ways.
Jasmine is beautiful, and I hope she realizes it before she gets some botched procedure, or just ends up looking cartoonish.
Even if she was a troll, wasting $$ on cosmetic procedures never seems to fulfill these individuals. They need to learn to love themselves. It sounds cliche, but it’s so true.
Once you love yourself unconditionally, everything else kind of falls into place.
I think once you start the slippery slope of “maybe I can fix this one thing…” it becomes harder and harder to stop at just one thing because there’s always another minor imperfection to fix. And before you know it, you’re at Darcy status because you don’t have stable enough self esteem to know when to stop.
