forget me notes

You owe yourself regular showers, good personal hygiene products, time by yourself, clean clothes and underwear, the career, relationships and life that you want. You owe yourself the opportunity to put your best face forward by having a positive attitude towards others and taking care of your appearance.

Me, trying to form opinions.

Note I found in my phone with no recollection of writing it, from 13 October 2015

Please try to understand that to me it’s an incredible expressive art form, no longer an illegal gang identification system. I have no plans at the moment for covering my entire body, but I know I will continuously have ideas for new tattoos and by the time I’m in my 50s I’ll probably come pretty close and by then you’re probably gonna need someone to wipe your ass and your other children don’t love you enough. So I hope you get used to it by then.

Sit down.

Me, to myself.

Images are Photoshopped and unrealistic because they’re purely visual, and the only sense they can appeal to is our sight, therefore they have to work so much harder for us to like them. In real life though, we have our voice, our mannerisms, our actions and our physical appearance. We’re not trying to sell anything but ourselves, so the image we should put out to the world should only be a demonstration of how we want to be perceived. If all you have is your looks, then obviously you want that to be the best it can be, but this is why you shouldn’t look at photos of others and be envious of their looks or their lives, because they’re just showing you what they want you to see, and for me, that’s why I don’t spend a lot of time on my appearance but I’m still satisfied with the way I look (most of the time) because I more concerned about what people will think about my personality and intelligence.
