Speak to My Finger

I had an unbelievable weekend by having no internet acces. Banzai, Streamnyx!

Another spice to add to my weekend was receiving a comment or would rather refer it as compliment that I looked OLD for a 21 year old. For a girl, generally, receiving that kind of outrageous statement might just simply put that guy's life in danger. But don't worry, that guy would not get death sentence from that girl, unless she is his wife or girlfriend.

So here, I'm going to add another golden, which is Never Judge a Girl Her Age. Just because she looks "like that", doesn't mean she's old or young. Because it simply doesn't matter. And who are you to judge her by the way? Even God says "Everyone is Beautiful". God didn't say that? Never mind, I'm sure God would be happy to have me as the spokeperson.

It got me thinking when I got that "compliment". It's never the first time or the last to get that and it really amuses me everytime I get that from the complimenter. But this time it really got me thinking. I was just thinking which one is important in life. Life itself or beauty itself, or as a human being, we want both?

Life itself as in being alive and able to experience things to discover the reason of your existence. Or people really just think life itself is very troublesome because his or her life is never on a smooth sail? Or you would rather look on the optimistic side and say "Bring it On" to all your obstacles that will just enrich life and build up your reservoir of knowledge, which in turn mix into wisdom? All of the more important do we as human being think life itself is precious?

Beauty itself as in getting "younger" physically as we are getting older. In other words, being young literally when you know you are getting older but living in a denial illusion that you can retain your youth by seeking treatments. I know, of course, beauty in this context can be more than pumping botox but I seriously ponder whether which one would people really choose especially in this materialistic world. If you are given an opportunity cost, would you choose beauty or wisdom? Would you trade in wisdom for beauty or the other way round? Or would you rather just stay in your room to fix an eyebrow for an hour without even wondering what is Life?

So do I ever get mad when people commented me "I looked so OLD"? Of course not. That's because I take action rather than sulking. I would just swift my priceless plastic knife over the commentator. And then I would preserve the head as a prize in my hallway. No, I was just joking.

I won't be mad because I'm grateful that I'm simply alive.

I feel the same way that you do!

It does, however, bother me at times when people tell me about how young I look. A coworker once told me that if he saw me walking down the street, he'd think I was thirteen or fourteen!

I'm 19.5 years old...

Anyway. Have a great day!

I always look younger when I'm with Ben so it doesnt really matter.. Anyway, ermm.. your post made me wonder if you're a Christian.. But that's out of the topic.. I think looking older doesn't really matter, as long as you're mature and are able to live the life you want to live.

I hate that in order to be beautiful people think you have to look young. I think older people can be beautiful. It's rare, even in my mind, however, because I've been told for so long that youth is beauty. It's sad.

That's fantastic. That's what I'm shooting for. I don't really care how fast I age on the outside, because it really is the inside that counts.
