Eye of the Beholder

Be the best of yourself in your skin.

Today, I see so many people aspiring to emulate a certain look or a certain person, that it's starting to look like that Twilight Zone episode, Eye of the Beholder. If you have never seen the episode, I highly recommend that you check it out.

And spoiler's alert if you are reading this and want to watch the episode!

Do not read this if you indeed tune into the episode.

In short, the entire episode we (as the audience) cannot see the face of the patient nor the hospital staff performing the surgery. At the end, the patient is revealed to be a beautiful woman and the society that she's trying to live and change her appearance for has these horrible pig faces. The end of the episode, they cast her out to go to a town of similar face people. Definitely check that out! A great and really introspective episode?

Now, it's one thing to follow trends like makeup contouring or wearing the latest fashions, or even getting work done to enhance what you already have on a fillet basis. But there's a thin line. I see people now with these botox looking lips looking like kylie Jenner and getting surgeries that ultimately give off this same plastic surgery looking face. Hear me out - I'm not totally saying plastic surgery is bad. I'm saying that you can improve areas that is bothering you or that you cannot naturally improve. Also, I totally support being in the skin that you are in. But, when you start having that same plastic surgery type of face or worse, like s botched mess and a totally unrecognizable person, there's a problem. I see beautiful women and handsome men alter their appearances and look so totally worse or like another species afterwards. I see young women trying to br Instagram models and getting that dance plastic looking surgery to fit an image, that is deterring them from what they naturally looked like.

We are starting to live in a real life Twilight zone and I urge you to not fall victim to fitting an image but keep your unique beauty at it's best. I also feel like it's a slap in the gave to our Almighty Creator who made us for naturally beautiful in our own unique way, to completely turn around and emulate a plastic image. The most beautiful people to me are people who know their unique beauty and be the best version of it via certain hair, outfits, makeup etc but not going to the extreme with it and make a plastic face.
