Sabiedrībā iesakņojies stereotips, ka neskūties drīkst tikai vīrieši, savukārt sievietēm viscaur jābūt gludām kā gliemjiem. Ne visas ar to ir mierā, un fitnesa entuziaste Morgana Mikenasa (attēlā) no ASV pērn skuveklim teikusi ardievas uz visiem laikiem, lai visai pasaulei pierādītu – meitenes ar spalvainām padusēm un kājām ir skaistas.

Morgana virtuālajā vidē aizsākusi savdabīgu protesta akciju – viņa sociālajos tīklos publicē fotogrāfijas, kurās tiek demonstrēts viņas spalvainais ķermenis. Turklāt tādu, kam dabiskais skaistums tīri labi iet pie sirds, nav mazums – fitnesa entuziastes "Instagram" blogam ir vairāk nekā 52 tūkstoši sekotāju.

Sieviete sociālajos tīklos, tajā skaitā arī vairākos sižetos, kas publicēti vietnē "YouTube", skaidrojusi, ka viņa nav skuvusies jau vairāk nekā vienu gadu. Kā pašu svarīgāko iemeslu šādam lēmumam viņa minējusi laika patēriņu – skuvekļa slidināšana pa miesu, viņasprāt, ir lieka laika tērēšana.

Tiesa, ne vienmēr viņa vairījusies no skuvekļa. Kad Morgana bija aptuveni 12 gadus veca, fizkultūras stundā bērni apsmējuši viņas spalvainās kājas. Meitene izplūdusi asarās un, tiklīdz nokļuvusi mājās, lūgusi, lai mamma viņai iemāca, kā skūties.

Tagad, kad Morgana kļuvusi par sevi pārliecināta, viņa nolēmusi sevi neapgrūtināt ar centieniem izpatikt citiem.

"Iešana dušā aizņēma pārāk daudz laika, jo nācās visu noskūt, tad vēl mazgāt matus un ķermeni. Un kādu dienu es pati sev pajautāju, kāpēc vispār to daru. Tas aizņem tik daudz laika! Kad ļāvu vaļu spalvām, sapratu, ka tas pat ir patīkami. Spalviņas kļuva arvien maigākas," skaidrojusi Morgana.

Savukārt kā otru iemeslu Morgana minējusi faktu, ka, matiņiem pēc skūšanas ataugot, nākas paciest niezošu sajūtu. Viņa gan piebildusi – katra paša ziņā ir izlemt, ko darīt ar ķermeņa apmatojumu.

"Es necenšos cilvēci mudināt atteikties no padušu un kāju skūšanas. Es tikai vēlos iedvesmot citus darīt to, ko pats vēlies, kas liek tev justies ērti," sacījusi Morgana.

Tiesa, sieviete arī piebildusi – apkārtējo ļaužu reakcija, ieraugot viņas spalvaino ķermeni, ir neviennozīmīga. Daļai tas šķiet pretīgi, savukārt citi viņu slavē par drosmi.

"We are not here to debate the rightness or the wrongness of what you, or anyone chooses. We are not taking sides, for or against anything. We are here to help you understand that your life can be as wonderful or as horrible as you allow it to be. It all depends upon the thoughts that you practice. And therein lies the basis of anyone's success: How much do I practice thoughts that bring me joy, and how much do I practice thoughts that give me pain?" ~Abraham ✨🙏🏼 The energy that you put out into the world, is the energy you get back.

This is my beautiful friend @earthhands_ What she does with her social media is something I aspire to be/do with mine as well:) She is an artist of all kinds and is one of the most kindest/genuine humans I've had the pleasure of connecting with. Her words and actions inspire me to be a better person everyday!:) Check her out!🤘🏼💙 "M Y D E A R E S T Y O U ✨One of my goals for this platform was for it to be completely honest and raw. I truly believe that we need more of that in this world. We need the good and the bad. The light and the dark. And the path in between. Last night there was this buildup in my heart, a bit from the chilly weather, a bit from my exhaustion from the day and a bit from some judgements I had of myself. It was a pretty amazing journey however, because even at the moment when the sadness began, I recognized it there and had immediate compassion for it. I was completely with it, and felt every part of it. Whereas in the past, I would have shoved it away and distracted myself, or if I didn't do that and actually let myself feel it, I would have judged and ridiculed myself and it would have turned into a downwards spiral. When I finally broke down (in the arms of a beloved dear human), I freed myself of all thoughts rooted in fear. I became one with the present again and became one with what WAS instead of what WASN'T. It is important that we are our number one fan and love ourselves unconditionally, even when we are feeling down. This is when we need our own love the most. Remember that your mental and emotional health are so incredibly important, and they deserve your love and attention. When we feel our pains, that is where we truly grow the most. Reflecting on how far you've come boosts self-confidence and gives you courage. Pay ode to the beauty and light of your being, always. Much love to you all, beautiful people." #spreadlove #positivity #inspireothers #bethechange #beautiful #unity #inspiration #goodvibesonly #wordsofwisdom #word #goddess #bodyhairdontcare #bodypositive #weareone #onelove #selfcare #mindfulness #smile

Social media has such a great potential to spread love/positivity and create a positive communication link to people all over the world. But sadly, a lot of the time it is a battle ground where insults fly back and forth. Spreading hatred for entertainment.. Words have the potential to heal or to hurt. People don't realize how damaging social media can really be if used this way. It can destroy a persons self esteem and a persons sense of self worth. But on a positive note, I have connected with some really awesome people because of social media. Despite all the negativity that comes with it, there comes so much positivity/inspiration also. I am just feeling very thankful today for all of you who choose to spread kindness and uplift me and others every single day. I am so proud to have connected with like minded individuals who do what they love everyday and genuinely care. I appreciate you and I'm sure others do too. Thank you💜✨🌌🤘🏼#positivity #spreadlove #bethechange #selflove #gratitude #namaste #iloveyou #thankful #weareone #onelove #thankyou #changetheworld #alldoneup #nofilter #happystpattys

"There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty."~Steve Maraboli 🌸✨ Not just woman, but everyone! Imagine if everyone just decided that today was the day they loved themselves and embraced every part of them selves. Accepting and loving your body and your "flaws" because you know they are what makes you who you are. If you are focused on being true to yourself in every moment, you are less concerned what others think, which will lead to peace of mind. When you have nothing to hide and you can freely be yourself, there is a profound peace/confidence you will emanate to the world that will inspire others. ✨💝🤘🏼I also just posted a new YouTube video on why I don't shave my body hair and how it helped me(link in bio)☺ #bodypositive #spreadlove #behappy #namaste #hairywomen #healing #healthylifestyle #selfcare #loveyourself #beyourself #bethechange #divine #inspireothers #inspirationalquotes #positivity #goodvibesonly #lifeisbeautiful #hairy #gratitude #weareone #higherconsciousness #freespirit #empowerment #smile #feelgood
