Today as I took my shower (because what better place for deep thinking?), I was thinking about how some people get caught up in themselves, especially their appearance. I'm not begrudging people who want to look nice; there's nothing wrong with that and I myself prefer to look nice when going out. It comes to an extreme when you begin getting self-improving, unecessary surgery, posting hundreds of selfies per day, putting on drastic amounts of makeup... etc. etc. etc.
I always wonder why people do this... beauty means nothing! Sure, it's nice to be beautiful but in the end... beauty fades! What truly matters is your personality and who you are inside. THAT is what will truly last and is what people will remember; NOT that one time you got your eyeliner evenly aligned. I'm not saying to put no effort into your appearance- it's still fine. Just while doing so, remember that it's more important to be a kind person and to be beautiful on the inside. I've seen too many of my friends get caught up in their appearance and then turn into complete witches, and it's not a pretty transition. If you can look gorgeous while maintaining a beautiful soul, then by all means go for it; but don't let beauty take away your kindness. It's not worth it. One of my favorite quotes is "A fake rose looks nice, but will never smell beautiful." It's so true: if you only look pretty on the outside, but are a complete b-word to people, no one is gonna like you. Maddie
