This woman tweeted her nose that "looks like before pictures" and it went viral
And it was not an easy thing to do
Bored Panda contacted Holly Hopkins, a British criminology student and author of the viral tweet, and asked her about the "nose positive" initiative.
Holly told us that most importantly, everyone has to tell ourselves we’re beautiful. “Even if you struggle doing that, we need to remember we don’t need to be considered ‘beautiful’ in order to be deserving of respect from society,” she said.
The 19-year-old is convinced that “no one analyses your features the way we do to ourselves,” and it’s us who are our own worst critics.
Holly, whose tweet went viral with 15.3K retweets and 169.4K likes, received so many messages from men and women. “Lots of people have thanked me for posting it, but I don’t think I’ve really done anything special.” But she feels grateful to anyone who’s taken the time to message her and everyone who has been kind to people posting their photos under her tweet. “It was so lovely to see so much positivity,” she said.
Unfortunately, Holly still believes that the "ideal" beauty standard exists. “We see it in Hollywood and in the media,” she says, but she thinks that “we’re doing a good job at breaking it down” even if there’s still a lot more we need to do.
