Chara’s Story:Trying to Get To A Place Called Pretty-How I Discovered The Truth About Beauty
Ever since the third grade, Chara had one simple mission: to get to a place called “pretty,” to measure up to society’s definition of physical perfection. By the age of twenty-two, she felt she had finally arrived, but then the unthinkable happened. The girl who simply wanted to be embraced for her outer beauty was no longer pretty. Hopeless and depressed, she became suicidal.
For survival purposes and in her darkest hour, Chara decided to go on a journey. She desired to understand the truth about beauty. In an uncanny way, within the ugliest season of her life, Chara discovered the truth about beauty that transformed her world, freeing her from her body image issues. Chara’s story is a transparent journey of freedom and desperately needed in a superficial society that pressures women and girls to believe in an unrealistic view of beauty.
