This is the second picture to [link] in the “My Mind” series which I’ve decided to start up. The first was ‘Read my mind’ and now it’s ‘Weighs on my mind’. Next up, ‘Out of my mind’! The cleverness.

It was so weird, I started up on this and it seemed like this woman, I dunno… she just kept… STARING at me. I couldn’t really stop looking. Is that weird??

WARNING: PREPARE FOR MAJOR RANT!!!!!! BACK AWAY NOW IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE BORED.

The chains for hair represent the obsession women have with beauty; something that has kept them anchored to the same, shallow spot for many, many years. We spend so much time and money to make ourselves look better so society will accept or notice us. We spend thousands of dollars on clothes, accessories, and make up and many, MANY hours in the bathroom doing our make-up and looking at ourselves.

Just think about this. All this effort for some self-absorbed, narcissistic perceptions we have about ourselves. Because, obviously, no one will like us if we don’t look good. No one will like us if we don’t look like EVERY OTHER GIRL that walks the streets. If we don’t conform, we’ll be shunned.

And it makes me think…. everything we do to appease other’s views about us is hindering us in our own evolution as women. Think about all the time and money we are wasting on these stupid things just because we don’t ‘look right’. Think about all the things women could do without those hindrances. It makes me wonder, would we be smarter without these things? Think about it. More time to study, learn, and observe the world around you instead of being so self-focused. More money to spend on education, charity, and simple comforts.

But no. We decide to chain ourselves down with our own egotistical perceptions and the fear that we won’t be accepted. We are truly enslaving our own sex.


Now, in NO WAY does this apply to all women. I go shopping maybe once a year and have the bear-essentials make-up wise, but I don’t go crazy. It’s the over-the-top women that I worry about, and sadly, some of those girls are my friends.
This is for you. Hope you can understand.
