I have to admit at times I do want to be the perfect person, I know this isn't possible but there seems to be no harm in trying. The way some people look so effortlessly glamorous, I cant help my face turning a tint of emerald green. This is because I try very hard to look like the Virgin cabin crew, their flawless faces glowing with everlasting beauty, each strand of hair cared for and in perfect position and best of all, their sculpted red lipstick, where you never thought the colour red could look at vibrant.
But unfortunately, I on the other hand, haven't quite mastered this, finding that my friends comment on my attempt of 'glowing skin' of using the words 'blindingly shiny'. The thought of reflecting the sun's rays onto other people though my face wasn't quite what I had in mind. The hair- constantly seems to move out of position no matter how much hairspray I put on and don't get me started on the lips except for most of it ends up on my teeth. Usually all of this will really get to me.
Why am I confessing my outrageous imperfections you may ask? well because I had, which I'm sure I'm not alone in this. 'The drunk dancing' photo, my hair was so flat it looked like I'd just come out of the shower, my top was running so low it wasn't far from my belly button and the face I was pulling was far from glamorous Virgin cabin crew. With many, many minutes of cringing and asking if it could be deleted. I looked at it again and you know what?....
... I was having the best time of my life, not having a care in the world. This is exactly how I want to live my life, not caring if I smudge my manicure while I rock climb. I decided I want to properly live, and not care about perfection; and you know what living is so much easier. So although I might not ooze the glamour of Reese Witherspoon, I have the contentment- which I believe to be priceless.
