My friend Mike was describing this girl that he was falling for. Among other characteristics, he noted that he loves her sleepy eyes:
"It looks like she's either slept too much, or not enough"
He thought they were beautiful, captivating.
This morning, I was getting ready for the day and putting on some makeup. I started with some concealer under my eyes because otherwise I either look like I got punched, or my friend AJ asks if I'm sick. As I was concealing the black circles, I looked at myself in the mirror. I couldn't stop thinking that I was covering up exactly what Mike loved about some girl. And yet, for some reason I felt it necessary to look awake, wide-eyed.
Then I wondered, what other physical traits am I changing simply because I think I should?
What am I covering up that someone is possibly falling in love with?
We could literally hide everything,
but maybe we should ask ourselves:
What are we hiding from?

I don't know what we're hiding from. May be its the possibility that the "flaws" that we cover up may not be quite as endearing as we dream.
ReplyDeleteWow- Bail, so true, I think we cover up things we don't like about ourselves but other people find beauty in it.
