A lot of guys out there are like fake imitation jewellery. CHEAP THRILLS. Their attractive features lure you. You're sucked into buying them. But sooner or later, after you've scratched the surface, you see them for the useless, good for nothing, piece of sh*t they are. You no longer appreciate them as much as you did in the beginning. If only they came with expiary dates we'd know how much of ourselves, and our time, to give.

Isn't it peculiar how guys are most attractive the less you know about them? We'll drool over them from a distance, but up close they're almost unbearable. We regret having asked those questions about being scared of the dark, the real reason as to why they last cried and confessing to what bad habits they have. Some things are better left unsaid; or perhaps just talking should be congested altogether.

More partners. More cheating. More casual sex. More one night stands. It's not right, but its okay. Welcome to the future. We hope you enjoy your stay. The emotional element in relationships rarely play a significant role anymore. Gradually, its been somewhat 'bred out of civilisation'. We're becoming a society where all you need to make achieve in life is good looks. You've won the draw. First prize - a one way ticket to suceess and a lifetime supply of men/women at your feet; they're intentions are'nt genuine but like that matters anyway, right? The smart and potentially successful people are discouraged and bullied.

Shallow, yes; but its the truth. This is how our society functions these days. Lower marriage figures accompanied by an increase in divorce rates. In relationships, our attention span has definitely more than halved. We fail to appreciate the imperfections that, ultimately, make someone truly beautiful.

Our problem is
that we make the mistake
of comparing ourselves
with other people.
You are not inferior or superior
to any human being...
You do not determine your success
by comparing yourself to others,
rather you determine your success
by comparing your
accomplishments to your capabilities.
You are 'number one'
when you do the best you can
with what you have,
everyday.

I admire people who strive in fields where they are unaccustomed. A business person who participates in a charity marathon. An average grade student who tries their best, rather than a top student who naturally aces tests. A shy, private, soft-spoken person who introduces themselves to a stranger.

We all want to find someone different. Someone who isn't afraid to be themselves. Someone down to earth. Someone who goes about life unaffected by what others think. In my opinion, I believe this attribute is present within everyone, but is masked by an act. We think no one in the world understands us. When as a matter of fact, a lot of us probably feel the same; but just don't know it. Why? Because we're all so damn plastic.

Be yourself; nobody is better qualified.
