make-up
ever seen that episode of malcolm in the middle where lois has to wear loads of make-up because of a secret shopper evaluation? if you haven't, go watch it. if you don't know what i'm talking about, screw you.
well, today, i felt like that. although i did put on some liner and some lip gloss--and that was it--i felt like lois. burdened by make-up. i hate putting on make-up. sure it "beautfies" a person, but how far can it go? must it be generally females that wear make-up? (this excludes all celebrities and those in the theatrics) why can't guys wear make-up? there are those who do need some.
but let us push this to the next step forward. not even a step, one-eighth of a step. forget make-up. let people be as they are. after all, it's generally known: "never judge a book by its cover". why not practice such remarks that people keep on repeating. sometimes it may have some value to it.
or perhaps i am merely trying to sound moral. some of you that know me would probably think that i'm just trying to justify my position for forgoing make-up everyday because i don't believe i should waste those five minutes of sleep for make-up. or another five to not look like a frinkin' student. newsflash: i am a student. so i won't get married. yawn. the guy's not worth my time for just looking at me because i have twenty pounds of make-up. or even two pounds. people should just be as they are--which is rare and sometimes doens't even encompass me.
admittedly, to avoid a double-standard, it is nice to have both looks and smarts. but natural appeal and intelligence is the best. (yes, the search is hard) sometimes people have to work a little to find that right combination.
i'm not saying that everyone should just ban make-up. (not that anyone would listen anyways.) i'm just thinking people should wear a little less make-up. relax a little. be lazy. on your off days, just go with the flow. it will feel better. and if you regret it later, it's too late because it's done. but the momentum will feel good as you do it.
you'll see what i mean.
