Far Away From Perfect


I hope I will also, always see myself as young and as beautiful
as the woman above
Starring at myself for 15 minutes, was not as easy as it seemed before. At first glance, I didn't notice a lot of imperfections. Yet soon enough, I focused on my eyebrows and kept thinking about them for at least a few minutes. Usually, I would just get them done every once in a while but I noticed how they are not in perfect symmetry and that upset me. For some reason, I now completely hate them. I wish that they were more like Angelina Jolie's. The reason I want her eyebrows is because in my opinion she is a perfect example of a combination of female beauty and uniqueness. Besides my eyebrows, I was also bothered by small pimples that I normally don't pay too much attention too. I feel like, I can blame Clearasil commercials for that. In their advertisements everyone has incredibly clear skin. In total, I actually felt pretty happy about my face, I did not feel like I need to change many features and the things that I did not like about myself are not hard to change. However, besides my face, I also looked at my body as a whole. I wish I looked much more feminine than I do now. For that matter, I even thought about getting breast implants some day. Looking at myself for 15 minutes, just made me desire to get that surgery faster. Another flaw, that I payed more attention to are my thighs. I really wish that my inner thighs looked built rather than fat. After watching the Olympics this summer, I understood that if I work hard enough, I might get volleyball thighs and then I would feel a lot better about myself. Sadly, at the end of the 15 minutes I happened to think about the future and understand that 50 years from now, these flaws won't matter much because I will look old and probably pretty ugly. Therefore, I should value what I have now. To conclude, although I don't consider myself incredibly confident in the way I look, I learned to accept most of my imperfections while I was growing-up and understand that the inside is what really matters. Even though, I still don't feel "perfect," I think it is a good thing because I will always look after myself and try moving more towards perfection.

Being overly confident could prevent you from taking care of yourself and result health in health issues. 
Underestimating your looks and hating yourself, could result in Bulimia or Anorexia, which are serious eating disorders.
