Is plastic surgery the only option!?

Blonde (a story by Katherine Min)

Blonde is a story about wanting to be someone else than you actually are. You feel that everything about you is wrong, the hair, the nose, the height- the list is endless. The fact is that we always want what we cannot have. This makes us the victim of wanting to be a different person. The others, like the blonde girl in the story Lisa Ogleby or Marylin Monroe, are perfect. They have everything, the right looks and the right moves. As humans we struggle to imitate those we find perfect. The people we imitate don’t have to be tall and blonde; maybe their movements and ways of acting are enough to regard them as perfect. As the girl in the story says: “I studied her movements, her laughter like low sneezing, the way her part was etched down the middle, revealing a reddish scalp, “Studying to be blond,” I called it to myself. “

We also tend to believe we are someone else, to feel better. To make up stories f. ex about our background, will be the same as dreaming to be a different person, a person we find more interesting , prettier, more perfect and successful. Doing so will only make us feel worse about ourselves. At one point everyone will think negative thoughts about themselves; it’s a natural part of being a human. If they are sp unsatisfied they could either work on their self esteem or (take a plastic surgery!?), just make the best out of it- not focusing at the negative sides.
