Listen Up, Buttercup


Insecurity. One of the most common word of this twisted generation. I'd be lying if I said that haven't let this stomach-churning statement elapse from my mouth. It's saddening, you know. How a single word can alter a much greater good of a person. How it can crush and burn people's hope of becoming a confident personality that can ease its way into this crucial society. Not that appearances matter. But it actually does. Painfully so.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't say I'm this goddess that came from the Hollywood beauty and talent. I'm not that. Like everyone in this republic, we all want to have that specific dream of overcoming our fears of insecurity. We look at models, artists, celebrities. We all look up to them. We want to be like them. But that's problem here. We "want it" but don't "need it".

In this stereotypical world, it's easy to forget what you are really made of. From ads that promote such flamboyant beauty products to the people with size 0 figures that run around and are bluntly aware that they have what others don't have. They drink in the facts and release it with despair. They strive to get what is on display. We feel like our soul is tainted, so that's why we're all single-minded to produce a better version of ourselves.  We are longing to delete some of our physical errors that we think it isn't suppose to be there and be judged by our own mentality.

Look at yourself with a non-critical mind. Be indulged in what you currently have because life come and goes. We may not be blessed with such head-turning structure. We are made to be this self-proclaimed individual who is capable of being whom they truly are. Not with steroids and extravagant amounts of cosmetics. 

There's this cheesy remark that goes by the saying, "Love yourself." Those are words that speak loudly than the insecurities that keep hounding at your back.

I apologize for promising that I would be posting "once a day or two." What a liar, I know. But maybe I'm not cut out for the regimen of the daily blogger. I'll try though, I'll make another promise. I shall post 1-3 entries a week. With the courtesy of my lazy active physique. 

Thanks for noticing, my unidentified viewers... :-)
