Ellooo!

This week's topic is Appearances.

Hearing people say 'appearances don't matter' has almost always gotten on my last nerves. Since, here's the thing- they do.

The way you appear to the world does matter. When you meet someone for the first time, you automatically take in their appearance. You notice how well the person takes care of themselves and you notice how the person holds themselves. And that's alright because these are things you can control.

I strongly disagree with pushing aside taking care of how you look because 'people shouldn't judge me on the way I look'. Yes, okay, they shouldn't judge you solely on that but it makes a difference. Brush you hair and teeth, wear clean clothes, etc. I swear those matter.

Perhaps we wish to say that appearances aren't everything.

So instead of neglecting yourself, make an effort to look okay. Control the things that can be controlled. Like brushing your hair or washing your face. And don't fuss over the things you can't control. Like if your nose is pointier than others. If your hair is thicker and fuzzier than others. That's okay!

So hop out of bed, take a shower, wear clean clothes, do what you have to. THEN if some jerk walks along and decides to announce that you're not good enough because of the way you look then isn't good enough, well, he/she can go get a life.
