Beauty over brains?

Nov 10, 2010 15:37

When u were a kid, parents would ask you, "so will you rather have beauty or brains?"
I used to answer " brains, of course."
"why?" would be the next question.
"because brains will make u smart n not fall into traps, earn lots of money n be rich. once you r rich, u can have beauty".

or so i thought. true enough, you can have a reasonable job, but how much r u going to spend making urself beautiful?
-gym classes, diets, doctor consultations to make u slim.
-hair treatments, haircuts, styling products for your hair.
-chemical peeling, laser treatments, facial packages, skincare products, face mask, eyemask, sleeping masks to make u radiant.
-concealer, eyebrow shaping, mascara, contact lens for bigger more beautiful eyes.
-braces, teeth whitening for perfect teeth.
-manicure, pedicure packages, hand masks, hand creams, leg tanning spray to hide signs of aging.
-shoes, clothes, push up bras, grindle, thongs, stockings.
- magazines to poison ur mind abt how to make urself attractive

are these worth it? because i spend my money on all these things i dont save enough. n here i am being disappointed with myself. but it seems that despite all these efforts it is always not enough because u r basically not a natural beauty. i wonder if things will be diff if i had chosen beauty in the past.

is it just a self confidence issue? or because my expectations r too high? or because im always envious of my sister?
