We all want to look good and we all want to feel good about ourselves, it’s just in us to do so. Yes, there is the odd occasion where you just couldn’t care less and, in that moment, you’re willing to visit a friend or go to the market or mall looking like a drowned rat! But typically, we want to look good.
The funny thing about this is we’re never quite as perfect looking as we’d like to be. There always seems to be something wrong with our appearance in some way or another.
For some it’s their face – their nose, eyes, lips, cheeks, hair… and the list goes on. For others it’s their bodies. Have you ever heard people say: “I’m too skinny, my feet are too big, I wish I had darker skin, I wish I wasn’t this tall?…” I think we spend way too much time worrying about our looks and appearances on the outside and pay far less attention to the real things that matter – the condition of our soul on the inside.
I recently received an email about a girl and guy who spent thousands of Dollars on plastic surgery to have their faces look like Barbie and Ken.
Right now some of you might be thinking, “wow, these people are really mad to do that and obviously have heaps of money to throw around…” To a certain degree you may be right, but a “barbie girl” wants perfection and they want to be beautiful. Now, there is nothing wrong with slapping on some makeup and applying products to your hair to make it look good, I would encourage it – this enhances one’s self image, and is a great tool to use if you’re going for a certain style.
Makeup is temporary, but to have plastic surgery and facial reconstruction to look like a plastic kid’s toy, that’s just crazy, right?! This might seem very harsh, but I do believe that we all have been created beautiful and we’re made unique. Now, you might not be a ‘drop dead gorgeous’ model or a heart throb, but surely that small flaw you feel you have isn’t worth stressing over?!
To tell you the truth, growing up wasn’t easy – I too had my fair share of personal bodily dislikes, but I had to find away through it and get over the insecurities I had, based on my physical appearance. I also learned that there are far more important things in life, especially the inward flaws that needed surgery.
