Being Natural...being accepted

So there has been a lot of mess going on tonight regarding a youtuber experience at a natural hair show about being natural, the textures, being accepted or not being accepted, etc.

My honest opinion and again its MY opinion > I feel that natural hair comes in a ARRAY of textures, curls, kinky, fine, etc. It should not come to a point where just because your this complexion or have a looser curl or wave or kinkier hair that people should treat you any ole way. Nor should they exclude you from being natural. Being natural means to maintain your texture of hair (kinky, wavy, curl, poof) that you were - quote unquote - born with, without a chemical process to change/alter it.

Why can't we as women just accept, give props and all to one another instead of ready to tear one down. And we wonder why this world, society, economy is already twisted. Its just getting worse like were living in hell in other words. Okay I could have taken that one a bit out of context with the hell part, but seriously. 

If YOU love yourself(hair included lol), accept yourself in every aspect, then why worry about what the next woman is doing. Is it jealousy by nature? Envy? General misconception that we are born to be catty amongst our fellow women vs men?
I personally congratulate and compliment others instead of looking at them with my nose up as if I am better than them. No one is perfect but Jesus. 

My texture is a mixture of 3c/4a. And I am proud of my texture, I rock it out at times and I could care less on what others may think or say. I have come across people that LOVE my hair, others that want to touch and ask how can they achieve my look (I usually have a 'say what' expression and laugh), then others may look at me sideways. I take the negative as.. well.. ignorance/lack of knowledge, diversity etc.

You have to do YOU first and far most, is basically my rant on this. People (the right people) will accept you as long as you are yourself and have a positive personality and mindframe.
