Up to now, HELIOS has always been mentioned a lot in the community of brothers who love handmade silver jewelry. However, we also received many interesting perspectives on Faith from sisters who love making HELIOS. Below is an interesting share from a very individual female customer about her own Faith:
“I am only beautiful when I am happy.
I remember the first time I typed “how to lose weight” on the keyboard was in 5th grade. Puberty came with a deep awareness of appearance. From a child who ate freely and freely, I began to be hurt by taunts like “fat girl”, “big feet”….
At that time, the Korean standard of “skinny and fragile” was extremely popular, creating an invisible pressure on the shoulders of young girls. That standard made me put even more pressure on myself. I started fasting, sometimes starving myself for the whole day, even trying to vomit after eating.
But ironically, my weight did not decrease, on the contrary, it even increased. Then my appetite flared up, I ordered a lot of food like fried chicken, cakes, pizza... My weight just kept increasing, followed by self-blame and torment - a vicious cycle that seemed to have no end.
The climax was one night, I had stomach cramps, sweated profusely, and even vomited blood. At that moment of extreme fear, I suddenly woke up. I realized that I was not okay physically and mentally and it was time to learn to love myself.
I started learning about healthy eating and proper exercise. I took care of myself from the smallest things like changing the way I dressed, taking care of my skin and hair, and investing in jewelry and accessories that made me feel more confident. Since then, my health gradually stabilized and most importantly, I became much fresher and more radiant.
However, the interesting thing is that even though I have changed, opposing opinions still appear continuously: there are still people criticizing the way I dress, the way I do my makeup, or that I am not skinny enough... At this time, I realize the truth that beauty or ugliness is each person's personal opinion, I cannot and am not responsible for pleasing anyone.
Through this story, I want to tell everyone to be truly confident in their own inner values. Ignore toxic, non-constructive words, only then can you become the best version of yourself in your own way.”
Perhaps many women have also faced similar pressures, the pressure of beauty standards set by society. Tell your interesting story to HELIOS Club, to resonate and inspire our community!
