Make-ups? What??

Just the other day, a guy asked me “How come you don’t put make-up? Don’t you wanna look pretty?” At that time, it seems pretty normal question to me.

But as I was driving home, I thought to myself. “Does it really matter? Why on earth do we put make-up for?” Have you ever wondered?

Maybe it’s because:

1. We girls use make-up to beautify ourselves?

2. We girls want to look more attractive to guys?

3. We want to build our confidence?

4. To hide our flaws?

5. Make-up gives us more self-worth?

You know, I think it’s such a shame for girls to need make-up to validate them selves. Make-up does not increase ones self-worth nor does increase ones attractiveness. I am talking about attractiveness, not prettiness. No, I’m not saying it’s wrong. I’m just saying that sometimes we put make-up on for the wrong reason. If you are putting on make-up for your own self, because you like it, then it’s fine. But if you are doing it to make yourself more attractive to others, then you got to think twice about it.

I truly believe that beauty shines from within. Make-up does not beautify you. It just enhances the beauty that you already have. If a guy likes you, they should like you for who you are inside. Not just cause you look pretty with all the make-up on the outside. And if a guy wants you to put make-up for him all the time, then something must be wrong.

Personally, I’m a strong believer of natural beauty. I prefer not to have any make-up on, maybe cos I’m lazy *grins*. But that does not mean I don’t put make-up at all. Sometimes, when the occasion calls for it, or when I feel like it, the make-up goes on. And I use it because it makes me feel good and it gives me more confidence.

So to all the girls out there with the heavy make-up and stuff, remember that “True beauty comes from within”.

Dream or love?

Let’s say you have a dream. And suddenly an opportunity arises that gives you the once in a lifetime chance to pursue it. But then, this would mean leaving behind your love ones or family. Will you go for it?

Some might say it would be stupid to give up your dream. A few years down the road, you’ll be old and time will run out. You will regret it and blame others for pulling you back.

Some might say, love ones first. They are the most important aspect of life. What is left behind will forever be gone.

What do you say?

Well, there is no right or wrong answer for it. If you would have asked me a few years ago, I would have said “Go for your dream! After all, you’ll only live once.” But I guess, it’s easier said then done. Would you be willing to give up everything just to go for your dream?? Or live a life or regrets that you’ll never achieve your dream?? Would you stop someone for achieving their dreams?? Or let them chase their dreams without you??

I really like the movie “UP”. It tells on how a young girl, who dreamt of something but never achieved it. Instead, she recreated her dream; with her love one. And she died a happy person.

Can dreams change? Can dreams be shared?

What would you have done?

I want! I want!

You know its funny sometimes that things happens when you least expect or want it?

I really want something. I have waited for it for years and years. I feel that I truly deserve it and I am ready for it.

And year after year, I’ve met with disappointment and frustration.

Why me? Why not me?

Then I received a revelation. I remembered my purpose and passion. I remembered why I am there, and suddenly what I wanted doesn’t matter anymore. I realized my purpose and that was more important then glory or recognition.

And suddenly, I got what I wanted.

Ironic isn’t it, when you want something, it doesn’t happen but when we finally release it, it comes back to you. I guess the universe is playing a trick on us… Or is it just Murphy’s Law…

But then again, maybe it’s just a reminder that He is always in control…

Till then..
