Facades

I was watching a commercial that listed all the reasons people get dark circles under their eyes. Stress, fatigue, and so on. To combat that they suggest using this new concealer. Suddenly I realized how much time and money we are encouraged to put towards facades...towards covering up our true lives.

I've been thinking a lot about how commercials push people into thinking they need to look a certain way in order to be successful, accepted...loved. How to be what most of us aren't.

Instead of putting money towards cover ups, clothes, shoes, hair dye, diet aides, etc., how come we don't put our money toward learning to be honest and real? Learning to accept who we are and shine with our light that comes from within.

Just a thought.
