Losing Face

View On White

 

(Disclaimer: I know some of the editing is off... this was a quicke as I am crunched for time)

 

SOOOO ( I am feeling a little gusty totally unedited on the right side)... what is this all about you might ask. Am I trying to make a statement? Am I trying to prove a point?.... Maybe & maybe not.

 

So... I am 25... well 25 and 1/2 but who is counting. And I have never been into vanity. Sure I will put on make up and do my hair, but I never go over the top. Life is much more fulfilling to me when I can enjoy simple pleasures and not have to worry what people think of me. I have a million 'flaws' and I am sure you are all disecting on the 'right' side. I have always had problem skin, I think it is safe to say my face is not symatical, my top lip is thin, my eyebrows have seen better days, and I am sure the bags under my eyes are a giveaway that I am exhausted.

 

So I have been doing 365 (my version) for awhile now and looking at myself everyday can be........interesting.....Most of the time I find it very therapeutic, but then sometimes you have your doubts. One thing that has been eating at me are the wrinkles. Out of all the imperfection why the wrinkles. Well, I guess I have a love/hate relationship with the symbolism behind the wrinkle. Wrinkles are wisdom, wrinkles are proof, yadda yadda... Wrinkles are also a reminder that I am not getting any younger. This is something I cannot control and it scares me a little. I will wake up one day and realize.... I am old. (I know I am not at 25) but one day all those wrinkles will be staring me in the face and everyone of them will have a story to tell and they all lead in one direction... my mortality.... Yes morbid but true.

 

So I do not judge those who have work done. Maybe it is deeper than vanity, maybe it is a struggle with mortality. Some people have inner battles that we ourselves cannot yet relate too.

 

No I am not getting plastic surgery.... but I did go out and by wrinkle cream. If I must age I would like to do it with dignity
