Hi all. This is a ending review for our very own inaugural beautiful list, which is surprisingly embraced by all, thank you. However, i do know that some may be dismayed by the fact that no1 will not, and never, be revealed, for not a shallow reason.
Today, we need stress like a T-Rex needs asparagus. Stress no longer is the cheesy factor that keeps us alive, but instead drives us to our early graves with attendant ailments. Stress is the single cause for my irregular sleeping patterns, high caffeine intake, and lack of excess fats in my body (this one i dont blame!).
Understandably, causes for stress itself originate from academia for many of u, yet for me there's another aspect: physical appearance. Whether it's an additional pimple, another gray hair follicle, more eyelash loss, it all drive me nuts day by day. And it certainly doesnt help when i arrive at sch and witness all the beautiful ppl ard me (those from the list) and all is sufficient to set me into depression and lack of self-worth.
Every indulgence, even the most fundamental and old-school, comes with complex negativity and sinful guilt. These days i cant talk bout eating fries without getting looks of horror and concern (which really is eye-talk of 'u are not one to afford any more pimples'). We dont laugh at ourselves anymore, not in these unironical and politically-correct times. Do i love homework? Definitely!
No one (at least ppl outside the fashion industry) seems to welcome contemporary and unconventional beauty. Every inch of chest hair have to be measured and well looked after. Just ask feminists. Women, they say, are constantly criticising themselves, becos they are far away from images of barely attainable female perfection. The best images become world-famous; they are called supermodels.
Yeah, its true that ive grown out of my insecure phase, all thx to my gf, those were the high sch days. But constantly, when Samuel hottie's charm is so apparent, i duck out a little. I dab on more concealer, buy the most over-priced hair product, seek out the best bronzing creme, camp at my gym all day. So wat will happen if no1 is revealed? If its ohy, louis, edmund, or lirui?
Ride the revived hippie wave. Im having fries right now. Want some?
