Vanity is Sanity

“Vanity is sanity”. I remember reading that somewhere and noting that there is absolutely nothing wrong with knowing that you are beautiful. Just as there is nothing wrong with letting people know that you are very much aware of your beauty.

I have had it up to the tips of my hair with people who shun vanity. The most aggravating thing is that the people who look down on those who spend more time looking into their mirrors than they do cultivating young minds (or some equally pretentious cow dung) are the very same people who encourage self-confidence and the likes. Why should it grate your nipples when I acknowledge my advantage over the masses...when you are employed to encourage the attainment of such knowledge? Honestly, I am stumped.

Why should the fact that I am one with my benefits bother you so much that your very existence has the disappearance of my smile as its sole purpose? We often say that beauty should be celebrated. When did the world decide that the condition is that the one who holds the beauty should not be the one who celebrates? And really, what difference does it make? Beauty is beauty is beauty, regardless of who shows appreciation for it. If you cannot bring yourself to love the very features that make you attractive...go sit in the dark corner with the others until the sun finds you and burns some self-importance into you.

The world is filled with people who loathe themselves and expect the rest of us to either pity them or fear them. Good on them. They can, and should, stick to what nurtures their souls and let the rest of us decide what to do with ours. We only get one shot at this thing called life and I, for one, will be damned if I allow the insecurities of others to have an impact on the extent to which I take pleasure in my overall awesomeness.

If you have a beautiful face, I grant you permission to look into the mirror until either IT breaks...or YOU die. If you have a beautiful body, I urge you to wear as little clothing as you can wear before the world declares you naked. If you have a beautiful mind, do not feel obligated to dumb yourself down for the rest of us. Use your big words until your memory fades.

If you have all of the above, I beg of you to e-mail me. :p
