I Love You...Now Change!

In today's world of anorexic models and generic ideas of what attractiveness is, people are finding more and more reasons to be dissatisfied with their appearance and they are turning to quick fixes, thinking that it will boost their confidence levels, consequently making them more popular. Women are obsessed with looking like Kate Moss and men are obsessed with having physiques like the pro athletes on television who most likely got their muscles superficially. However, they rarely take the time to think of the consequences. For some people, it can become addictive, finding one thing after another that can be improved on after having the first surgery. Is it really worth it to shell out all of this money and go through the hassle of surgeries to supposedly make you feel better? Wouldn't it just be easier to embrace the way you look and love yourself for the real you instead of the cut, scraped, and sucked you? Couldn't we stop trying to model ourselves after celebrities and realize that the average person doesn't look like that? Most of those things that celebrities have and that we tend to envy were paid for...many of them have gotten have gotten so much "work" done that it is hard to decipher what nature gave them from what they got at their surgeon's hands.

Nowadays, there are so many different things a person can do to tweak their appearance that it is easy to be sucked into the world of liposuction and botox injections. It is a lot easier than waking up every morning, looking in the mirror, and being content with what you have. It is way easier than asking people to accept you for the person you are, whether overweight or underdeveloped. If a person really loved you, they would love your flaws as well because they are a part of you. You should never change who you are for anyone. It may be true that tons of people go under the knife everyday and come back looking and feeling better, rid of their insecurities. But plastic surgery can also go very wrong...is that a risk you want to take? As for me, I'm waking up everyday and finding new reasons to love myself.
