Inner beauty

Plastic surgeries have become a “trend” and that is really something we should worry about. Ok, everyone can do whatever he/she wants -who am I to judge- but why changing our appearance turned out to be such an obsession?

Big lips, small nose, D cap and huge bum are a must.

Sure some characteristics are more liked than others but even that depends on each person’s taste. So by a general assumption that men like the Barbie type we run to the plastic surgeon to have a total make over. Just to become more attractive as if this is the only thing that matters.

Individuality died?

Well, if everyone wants to be the same with everyone else, probably individuality is at the ER trying hard to survive. If being different is an “out” then I guess that we are becoming more and more “trendy” with all those tiny noses around.

I think it’s time to reconsider what really matters and start looking at the forest and not the tree. What really matters and cannot go under the knife is the inner beauty. Personality is stronger than anything else and that is also the best reason to get attracted by or fall in love with someone.

Humour, kindness, intelligence, interests, chemistry are much more important than a juicy pout. We are so much more than a fancy appearance. The mind is by far the best seductive “tool”. The inside can tell a million more words than the outside.

By changing who you are, you are making your insecurities become stronger. You are not solving the problem by correcting a crooked nose. You just sweep everything under the rug. The real problem is why this crooked nose comes in the way as a problem? I’ve met many people with facial characteristics that don’t meet the so called “perfect” but they have so strong personalities that make everything look absolutely astonishing on them.

Another approach on that, a more sentimental one if you want, is that everything we are is inherited from our parents, grandparents and so on. On me I can see my father’s eyes, my mother’s smile even my grandmother’s expression. Why on earth would I change that?

Everything we are is a reason to be proud of. We have to resist to the most materialistic era we live in and embrace ourselves. By changing who you are outside, you are not becoming more successful, more accepted or more loved. What we all have to work on is the precious inside, the one that time cannot distort but on the other hand can sculpt into a better version of it.
