Redefining the "Normal"
Collections
The digital age has made all of us feel like we need to have the perfect face and body in order to be happy.
In a society bombarded by edited images and filtered perfection, the concept of "normal" can feel like an elusive mirage. But what even is 'normal'? And who gets to define what qualifies as an imperfection?
Today, we embark on a journey to challenge these preconceived notions and celebrate the beauty of imperfection.
From flawless skin to perfectly symmetrical features, the media often portrays an idealized version of beauty that seems unattainable for many. But here's the truth: There is no universal standard for beauty. What society deems as 'normal' is often a narrow construct, excluding the vast diversity of human appearances and experiences.
LET'S TAKE OFF OUR MASKS
But what even are insecurities? Insecurities are a natural part of being human. They're those little voices in our heads that whisper doubts and fears to a point that makes us question our own worth and appearance. From acne to scars, from wrinkles to stretch marks, we all have something we wish we could change or hide.
It may sound ambitious, but...
What if we shifted our perspective?
What if we didn’t see them as flaws?
What if they are what make us beautifully imperfect and unique?
'NOBODY IS PERFECT', a very common saying yet why is it that it doesn’t stick with us? The aspects that we consider as imperfections are actually what make us stand out. They tell a story of our experiences, struggles, and especially achievements.
Embracing your insecurities is not about ignoring them or pretending they don’t exist. It’s about acknowledging them, owning them, and loving yourself with them.
True beauty lies in diversity. Our differences - whether it's the freckles that sprinkle across our cheeks, the scars that tell stories of resilience, or the unique features that set us apart - are what make us beautifully human. It's time to expand our definition of beauty to include the rich tapestry of imperfections that make each of us one of a kind.
Now let's shift that perspective. That birthmark you've spent years trying to hide? It's not a flaw; it's a feature that makes you uniquely you. Those stretch marks earned from a journey of growth and transformation? They're not imperfections; they're badges of strength and resilience. By reframing how we perceive these so-called flaws, we can begin to embrace them as part of our beauty.
Instead of promoting unrealistic beauty standards, at STRÖME, we celebrates diversity and individuality. We encourage you to embrace them as a part of your journey and story. We encourage you to practice kindness and compassion towards yourself, recognizing that perfection is not the truth. The truth lies within flaws and your uniqueness. Together we can love ourselves. Together, we can redefine beauty standards with confidence.
NORMAL FOR US IS
So, think again, WHAT IS NORMAL?
