Read her words below:
“Social media can be intimidating but ultimately those ones with the purest of hearts will win. I get a lot of messages from young girls who are depressed with low self-esteem because they don’t feel pretty like the social media girls they see every day and my heart breaks because I feel like that too sometimes.
We are all in this together, I’m not perfect, and not the prettiest, richest but I’ll remain kind and seek after God’s heart because none of the others matters to Him. Ultimately God’s approval is all we need.”
The astounding revelation Tiwa made about herself became heightened and near emotional when she said that she rarely feels she is pretty at all.
Even more, this feeling of not being on par with the world’s standard of beauty increases with the knowledge that her beauty is enhanced by make up, filters and other clothing items made for this purpose.
Whatever the case, Tiwa has attributed beauty not to the outside appearance but to the virtues within a person.
“Some people are born beautiful, flawless skin, long curly hair, fair skin but some of us grew up looking at the world’s definition of beauty and found ourselves not fitting into that standard but with the help of makeup, filters and push up bras we feel a little closer.
What happens when you take all that off and you stare at yourself in the mirror do you still think you are beautiful? You should because you are and when we meet our creator face to face it’s those with the kindest hearts that will stand as most beautiful. So while we work on the outside make sure we work on our hearts.” You may also like to read; “If you’re hurt, speak up let the world hear” – Dabota Lawson reats to Ehi Ogbebor who accuse her husband for rituals
