"Other people's glasses may be better and more expensive than ours, but they may not necessarily be suitable for us to wear."

Hi Hiverss..

How are you all? My mother said, it's good for a woman to be decorated, polish her face, wear jewelry, dress attractively, and smell good. I, who wasn't used to that, tried to fulfill his wishes starting from buying ear studs.

For decades, I haven't decorated my ears because every time I put earrings on, I get an itchy, wet and smelly reaction. I hope that my decision this time will not be rejected by my sensitive ears.

One day after wearing the earrings, there was an uncomfortable sensation of being pinched there, not to mention that when I finished showering, I always forgot to rub my ears hard so the earrings got caught in the towel thread. Also when I want to sleep, tilt to the right or tilt to the left, as if someone is poking my earlobe.

I'm still holding on for a few days. As my mother said, perhaps I just had to get used to the discomfort. Once you get used to it, the discomfort will disappear.

However, on the seventh day, I took off the earrings that had only been in my ears for a few days. I gave in to feeling the lingering discomfort, making my every movement feel restricted. Why do you have to endure all this to be a beautiful woman? If it's not beautiful, so what?

There are many women who persist in wearing high heels until their heels get sore, even though there is the option of wearing flat shoes which are more comfortable. We choose to use artificial eyelashes, even though they can be uncomfortable or even irritated.

Why do women have to do such torturous things just for looks? I really don't understand, because all this time in my free life I have always rejected things that destroy my comfort. I even dared to break up with my boyfriend when he started demanding that I wear make-up or reduce the fat on my arms.

However, such thinking seems unfair. I don't try to be on the side of people who make choices across from me.

"When I look in the mirror, and see my face even more beautiful with earrings and flawless make-up, I feel happy and turn into an addict when someone praises me as beautiful. I really want to be beautiful for every remaining time I have in this world."

It seems that the satisfaction that arises from this sacrifice is what makes a person's chest warm and happy. A certain satisfaction that makes his chest full. Indeed, to get it requires struggle and sacrifice. Nothing wrong with that, right?

Everyone is free to choose their own path to happiness, we have different versions which, if debated, will only give rise to endless justifications and judgment. So enjoy our life. Whatever version of happiness that is.

See you

Warm greetings mieka@mieka
