My Pursuit of Happiness

Dear lord I love my life and all the people in it. I know I don’t like.change and I don’t want all my seniors to leave but I will never forget any of them or the great memories that have been made. I love them all and although I will miss them I hope I’ll stay in touch. I want to spend as much time with them this summer that I can before they all go to college. I love my friends((: even if I don’t ever speak to some of them again I know that they were put in my life for a reason. I may not know what that reason is but I one day will find out. I just love.them all so much and I love my life and I never wanna grow up past the age of 21 I don’t want change but I know it will happen. Hopefully its just a change that is opening greater doors and leading me to greater people. Ahh sorry just wantes to vent my feelings. Just came from southside graduation and those were the thoughts going through my head. I’ve grown up with a lot of.that class and over the past year met so many new people that have impacted my life extremely. I just hope they’ll always remember me like I will them. Summer here I come.

It starts off at an early age; little girls wearing their mothers’ clothing, playing with makeup, dreaming of one day being a beautiful princess.  Then as they grow older, teenage girls read about movie stars and fashion models and they want to look just as flawless as what they see.  Girls want to have the perfect body – tall, skinny, ideal hair and makeup – just to impress society. They simply want to be accepted. In A Woman’s Beauty: Put-Down or Power Source, Susan Sontag talks about the respect and significance of beauty in today’s world and how essential it is to women. Females tend to always care about their “looks” and appearance in contrast with their real beauty and true character. With what the world has made it today, beauty has become a trap for females where they must be approved and accepted by men, women, and society to be viewed as truly beautiful.

From finding prince charming to just fitting in with the crowd, women need to be acknowledged and fancied by men to feel confident about themselves. Females everywhere want to find true love and have a happy ending, but from what society has exposed, they must be pretty to achieve this. Because of this image, many women spend countless dollars on beauty products every year to compose themselves “more beautifully.” They then try to impress men by their appearance to hopefully gain their attention.  Society seems to look past the morals and true character of a person, only to notice the outside looks of materialism and appearance.  

Not only do women try to gain approval of men, but they also want to be noticed by the other women surrounding them. Some girls have the desire to out-do everyone they come across; they feel the need to be popular. Many females will even create a fake personality just to seem more fitting to her atmosphere. With this aspiration, many females cause damage to their bodies to fit in with their surroundings. As Sontag states, “nothing less than perfection will do.” Girls pick their bodies apart piece by piece, limb by limb. This can cause women to become anorexic, and bulimic, and even create an eating disorder. All of this is done for women to have a high self-esteem about their own bodies.

All in all, the outlooks of beauty from men and women and society are intertwined to produce a result that is nowhere near beautiful. Together as a whole, these three aspects have contorted beauty into a pit where women are imprisoned. Society has lost all respect for true beauty and created it in a completely different context. Women care too much about what others think, and they do not realize that they are truly beautiful the way they are. 

Fuck the weather!!! Why is it cold?! Damnit its May bitch it needs to be warm I’m sick of all these storms they need to go away. All they’re causing is pain and hard work. The hell go away.
