One of the joys when you commute is to see people of all walks of life. Iba-ibang porma, dating, at kung anu-anong gimik. There was this one instance when I was in a jeepney, I saw a girl. She was about 5-ft high, dark skin and fat and she's only in her early twenties ! Her long hair almost covered her plump face. She was listening to her music player while reading a pocketbook. She was oblivious of her surrounding and almost every person inside the jeepney was staring at her. She's more than 180 pounds.
But every time I would see individuals who care less of their looks I can't help to think, "are they happy?". And sometimes my mind would go as far as, "are they still virgins?". I don't know if it's wrong or if I'm being judgmental. In today's generation, when you're young, you have to live to the fullest. People are judgmental so you have to look good outside. The media is bombarding us with a distorted notion of what beauty should be - skinny models in their over-the-edge outfits, expensive gadgets and the like. Yes, it is right to think that beauty and happiness is found within one's self which is 100% correct, no argument on that. But how could you be happy when every time you would look in front of a mirror it is the awful you is what you see. And to top it all...you're still young!
When you're young, enjoy it because it wouldn't last forever. When you're fat, enroll in a gym and buy clothes that would make you feel good. Celebrate being youthful. Make your passion fashion. Make friends and enjoy life...party! But be responsible in a way...
