We Care Too Much What People Think

 As i stood here today straightening out my hair in front of the mirror, I began to wonder why people were so self absorbed and care so much about their appearances. I am well aware of the world I live in and I understand the importance of appearances. What I don't seem to understand is why we fall victims of these people that are telling us that we are not good enough if we don't have the perfect eyebrows, the perfect nose, and even the perfect body. What should a nose look like. What makes some peoples noses better than others. Why do I have to get my eyebrows threaded. Why cant I look as natural as possible. The worst part of all of this is the criticism we get for not complying with the norms of society. Maybe I don't want to be a size 2 and maybe I don't care that my English is not always pronounced correctly. What makes celebrities and gossip magazines the dictators of how we should look and behave. Maybe I'm happy being a size nine and maybe I like it when I cant pronounce words like mayonnaise. I'm not gonna lie Ive fallen victim to the way society pushes us to be perfect. I can wake up one morning feeling great about myself but then get criticized when I don't have enough mascara or why my hair is in a bun. Sometimes I wish I can go back in time and change nothing about my appearance. The word wish comes out a lot because I know I will continue to fall victim of how society thinks I should look. Until the world starts loving who they are and care less what people think then maybe we have a chance....
