...mY fAvOriTe SiN...
Let's face it, we're all stuck up in this flashy little world where looks seem like the only things that matter. We're all insecure about the way we look and there's no doubt about it. And to combat all these insecurities, we take comfort in parlors, derma clinics, spas, and gyms. In this world, vanity is a necessity and it always was.
I just came from the clinic, btw. If you guys don't know, my mom's a dermatologist. You may think it's more of an advantage for me because I get free facials and whatever treatments I need. Well, you're actually right in thinking that but there is one BIG disadvantage... I always have to maintain a zit-free face and flawless skin.
My mom always gets mad at me whenever she sees zits on my face. Well, it is very normal because I am a teenager but yeah, she has a reputation to live up to. But she wouldn't believe me that it's all just hormonal and also just because of the Vitamin B-complex I take everyday.
I'm also allergic to heat and sweat. I develop rashes easily. When that happens, my skin itches like crazy and I get red all over. She gets mad at me again thinking I've applied the weaker cream again. *sigh*
Anyway, let's get back to vanity. Almost everyone is into making themselves prettier or more handsome. And a lot of these people go overboard. They tend to obsess on their outer appearance and become more self-centered.
Okay... So I do get too upset over my flaws too... If you wanna know, just read on, okay? lol.
Here is a list of my physical insecurities:
* I am SHORT. For those who do not know, I'm only 5'3. Exactly.
* I have big hips. It runs in the fam, no doubt about it. They add unnecessary bulk too. Oh, and it would've been okay if I had a big bum. UNFORTUNATELY... *sigh*
* I am hairy. lol. I dunno, but some girls don't like hairy girls. I dunno why. I also dunno if guys dig hairy girls. lol.
* I have big ears. Minnie Mouse. PERIOD.
However, there are more strengths deep inside me and I'm proud of them too!
* I'm a fighter. I used to be just a crybaby, but past experiences have taught me to be stronger. Now I can laugh in the face of danger. lol. Not that literally though. lol.
* I pray every night. Not all teenage girls or boys have a tight relationship with God, and perhaps that's why they go astray. I may not be the most straight teen in the world but I'm still proud to say I always find a friend in Him whenever I call.
* I'M REAL. What you get is what you see. lol. I consider myself as one of the most transparent people ever. The world needs more transparent people, btw. =)
* I'm never afraid to lose poise. Yeah, whatever. I may not be able to get rid of my beauty queen stance but I always enjoy doing the dirty work. Guy things? No such thing. I'm gonna be a cowgirl, baby! lol.
* I don't regret things. There are no mistakes, only lessons to be learned. I don't like regretting. You can't change it anyway, right? Might as well get up and try again.
* I am really determined to reach for my dreams. No doubt about it. I will try and try until I succeed. With God, all things are possible. And I know that he's with me throughout my journey.
So think again. Maybe it's not your face or your body you should improve on. Maybe you have to pay more attention to your inner self. Besides, outer beauty is temporary--it will fade through time. Inner beauty? It'll keep you aglow within for the rest of your life. =)
