Tonight was closing night of ‘Not Wanted On The Voyage’ and I was talking to the fourth year student Kate who was very emotional and she said to me that it was just amazing that you get stuck with “a bunch of people you would never really chose to be friends with… for four years…”. She trailed off not wanting to keep talking, for fear of breaking ( Read more... )
I do believe that if you can change it without surgery you should work your ASS off to do it because well, you fucking should.
But
The reality is, it's not neccessarily perfection they're looking for, they just want to be accepted as "good looking" by society's standards. And I don't know if that's such a horrible thing to want really. Mind you changing your entire face is ludicrous and unneccessary, but none of us are hideously "ugly", so we really just can't imagine how it must feel to be in that position. It's really easy to say just accept who you are until you're in that position. I'm only saying this mostly because of my cousin and seeing it firsthand. I don't think he's ugly at all, but by society's standards he isn't all that good looking. And I can tell him over and over again that it's about personal preference, and some girl may find him absolutely smashing, but the reality is, if changing his entire physical appearance would even make him feel 50% better about himself, I'd let go of the old Rich in a second because I've seen just how damaging being "that way" can be. It's difficult to explain, but I don't know if changing a lot of your looks is really all that bad in comparison. I'd rather spend my time being disusted by murderers and rapists.
I actually really liked The Swan because my favourite thing is seeing people SO happy, and yes they look completely different, but you have to remember, thats what they WANT. Sometimes no matter how attractive your husband says you are, YOU just want to feel sexy and not cry when you look in the mirror everyday. And I don't know if that's really such a crime.
Anywho, I'ma go straighten mah hurr now :D

Firstly just, I did consider myself to be fairly good friends with David on a platonic level, however close that can be. He made me laugh when I was feeling shitty and we had awesome times in class and I really appreciated him as a person. Just remember I said you were too good for him when I didn't even really know him.
Anyway, I had no idea you felt that way at the time but I don't blame you. Thing is, I would have felt exactly the same way so I understand. I hope you know that I wasn't trying to "upstage you" or anything like that, I just really believe in the power of hugs, real hugs, and I knew he needed a huge one.
But all you can do is all you can do, if that makes any sense.
