Looking at myself in the mirror, I can say that I am more likely my father when it comes to
my physical features because I got from him the color of my skin, eyes, hair color and
texture, height, and body shape.
2. .
3. No. Most of the Filipinos define beauty only in physical appearance, and I don’t like it.
Beauty doesn’t have to come in a physical form, but beauty is in everything we see. People
must learn to change their perspectives to what they define as beautiful and attempt to
switch what people have taught us. Look around to find beauty in simplicity.
4. Dark skinned Filipinos are often seen as poor as they are allegedly dark skinned for having
to work in the fields. A hierarchy also exists subtly whereby fairer skin is seen as beautiful
and professional. They were given such roles for the movie to become more realistic.
5. They can do whatever they want to look like. We all have freedom of choice, if they want
to look more beautiful or to enhance something in their physical self, they can do it, they can
go cosmetic surgeries. We should not degrade someone just because he or she undergone
surgeries.
6. Yes. I feel insecure about how I look. I got low self-esteem. Instead of thinking and
thinking what other people might say, I just ignored them. It's not their body, don't take
disadvantage of freedom of speech. Never body shame anyone, and if you see someone
body shaming someone, step up and ask them to stop, this will make you a better human.
7. I am just enhancing the brightness or contrast of my photo when it seems to be dark. I am
trying to post unfiltered photos now because I am becoming more proud about my skin, it is
not perfect, I have pimple marks but that does not make me any less of a person. I should
start embracing myself and have high self-esteem.
8. Told them to let go of striving for perfection and accept your true identity. Accept yourself
completely, knowing you possess a combination of qualities. Instead of bringing attention to
your weaknesses, view them as gifts to transform into the wholeness of your being.
1. Yes, I am happy with how I look at the unfiltered photo because this is my real physical self.
I am embracing more of myself now without getting insecure that I have pimple marks, I don’t
have clear skin and such flaws. I just accept what I look like without being sad and without
thinking what others would say about me.
2. Yes, too. I love how I dreamt about having clear and fair skin in the past. This is my dream
before realizing that I can show off my real self. I am somehow happy how others look at my
picture without saying something offensive but this time, I realized that I can show off who I
really am.
3. My answers lead to a common advice that I should always strive to be the best version of
myself, but it’s also important to accept that perfection is an unrealistic goal. I should
alsofocus on my own goals and achievements, rather than measuring them against someone
else’s.
Dear Unfiltered Self,
How are you now? I know that there are a lot of standards and you’ve had a great
journey in fitting those. You’ve really worked hard just to fit on the standards of beauty set
by others.There are a lot of gossips about you and I am proud that you have ignored all of
those without degrading yourself. There are people who would body shame you because of
your body size, and I know how it broke your your struggles in dealing in with it, from
healthy eating to every day exercises and I know that you’ve tried all of those just to fit in
with how society would want to see you. I know that you are still standing up despite of all
the challenges that you are encountering, to those discriminations and failures you have
received every day. I am proud that you have learned to love yourself and embrace all the
weaknesses that you have. You have accepted yourself even if not fully, but you have
learned to accept it. I am also proud that you are slowly forgetting the society’s standards
and did not take those negative opinion of other people. Just keep up being stronger each
and every day. Do not fight for others to benefit, but instead fight for your own.
