kymú_ Know yourself, define your beauty

Where did your beauty begin?

Honestly — have you ever been free from other people's eyes?

Selfie filters. High-coverage makeup. Skin that's always being compared to someone else's.

Most of us have spent our lives measuring ourselves against a standard of "beauty" that society decided for us,

constantly trying to fit ourselves into it.

I was one of them. Since childhood, I admired flawless faces and smooth skin.

But even as an adult, the skin troubles never stopped, and neither did the self-criticism.

Then an unexpected illness and the radiation treatment that followed broke down both my skin and my spirit.

It was only then that I understood — beauty starts with accepting yourself exactly as you are.

Not beauty made to be seen, but beauty that begins with treating yourself gently.

That's the beauty kymú believes in.

Those quiet moments of growing closer to yourself.
