i dont know exactly who i am or what i want to be,but im getting closer to figuring it out.the blogs of stephen/esteban christian have really made me think,and reevaluate everything i thought i knew about this world we live in.
i honestly dont care where i get my clothes.i used to, but now i realize that it's a pretty pointless thing to obsess over.i don't care as much about how i look either.im tired of living in a world based on appearance & materialism.i mean, sure i like to look "pretty"but i dont care about it as much as i used to.besides, why spend $12 dollars on a stick of eyeliner,when you could get one just as good for $1?andd in other countries,farmers get paid 2/3 of that to sell their daughter to sexual slavery.why do we buy things that are more expensive when we could buy things of the same caliber at a lower price? to prove that we're better than someone else because we can afford it?to rub it in the faces of the sick, starving children that we're better than them?i no longer understand that.i used to do that,but now i dont see the point.if you have all that money,buy the cheaper thing,and donate the money you saved to a charity.help someone else, rather than just being selfish.the eleven dollars you saved from buying the cheaper eyeliner could probably feed a starving family in another country for a month or more.how does that make you feel?
