A Quick Thought about Appearance

There are normally two ways for a person to think of their appearance: either they find themselves ugly as hell or attractive as hell. There is virtually no in between because nearly everyone gravitates toward one of two poles. Like the north and south poles, except for ugly and attractive instead of for north and south. And sometimes it gets annoying because some people gravitate toward the "ugly" pole when they're perfectly fine-looking, but the annoying part is that they can start to complain and complain and complain about how goddamn ugly they are. Like, jeez, man. You look fine, and I'm not "just saying that". There's a line between humility ("aw, thanks, I'm not as pretty as you say I am but that's okay") and straight up putting yourself down ("god, I'm so ugly, I can't even stand my own face"). Now, I pose some questions.

•Do you have two eyes, both in their proper spots?
•Do you have a nose? Is it in its proper spot?
•Do you have a mouth? It's in the right place, right?
•You got ears? And they are where they're supposed to be?

Chances are, you answered yes to all of these. (If you didn't, then I apologize and I suggest you seek a doctor or professional who specializes in deformities.) Anyway, goung on the people who did answer yes to all these questions. Congratulations, I hereby dub thee a completely acceptable-looking human. No need to cover your face in 5,000 layers of makeup, no need to hide yourself in any way. Beauty is not in the face. So try working on getting your self-esteem up instead of your facial hotness. Once you realize what matters and what doesn't, you'll notice yourself being a lot happier with that face that used to make you so miserable.

And, for all the people out there who think they're the shit, that they're so hot and sexy that the world owes itself to them on a silver platter, those people are harder to work with. They take their self-esteem to higher, more extreme levels. For those people like that who may be reading this: first of all, I applaud your confidence but also frown upon your arrogance somehow at the same time. Second of all, since your face clearly does not need any fixing (hell, you'd know way better than I would), try moving on to discovering more about your soul and personality. Let your soul be what motivates you, not your pretty face. Really get in touch with your emotions and experiment with new things you might be able to find fun. It's things like these that you can do to take your mind off your face and generally make yourself seem less conceited to the outside world.

I do realize that there are people between the two "poles" of finding yourself "ugly" and/or "attractive", but these people normally have mindsets that are a bit more focused on things besides their faces, and therefore there's not really much to say to them regarding the things I've mentioned in this rant.

Anyway, these are just some things I've been thinking on, so I decided to put it into words. I'm praying I didn't seem like a biased or hypocritical bastard in this, because I really meant no offense to anyone. Feel free to comment your responses and thoughts on the subject too :))
