Heh. This is a good one. I hate the way women are always competing with one another and showing off but I have to admit that even at times, I fall prey to this idea, which apparently is called “effortless perfection.”
I have stared in awe at my classmates who seem to effortlessly get straight A’s, participate in several activities, work, maintain deep friendships/relationships AND look amazing all of the time. I’m not too shabby myself – I always did well in school, and in high school I did all of those things, but still felt like there was someone who did ten times more things and did them better. In college I did the academic thing, though I didn’t reach the only goal I set out to accomplish by graduation. It was a GPA thing and I missed it by .04 a.k.a. four-hundredths of a point. Yea. I was pissed too. But that’s okay because I had the most academic regalia to wear at graduation. I looked hot in my regalia.
Anyway, I just about gave up on the looking perfect thing mostly because I wasn’t out to impress anyone. I didn’t join any groups other than honor societies because I couldn’t motivate myself to go to meetings. Well, I did try joining one group but they were too radical for me, and I didn’t really get along with anyone in that group. Besides, I couldn’t find any other groups that aligned with my interests.
Maybe I’m just a tough critic, but I am still in awe of those ladies who manage to look *perfect* all of the time – clothes, hair, makeup – because I still haven’t figured out how to do that yet! That and my hair has always kind of done its own thing, so you can’t really tame the mane :)
