Making Over for The Society
I remember the night with the girls and we watched Extreme Makeover together. A few of us were screaming and eeeeeeking at the plastic surgery process. But the horror is more innate. That somebody has to go through that kind of pain and mutilation, that somebody actually needs to change their skin to be happier.
Unfortunately, as much as we balk at that and want to think we are beyond that, we all need to conform. We all want to belong to some extent.
I know I want to belong somewhere.
I just need to know where.
And please, my eating habits wouldn't be so screwed up if I'm really comfortable with my body type.
A good article on our fucked up, superficial society that we can't really run away from.
