My recent roommate, Meva Nareza, one day, out of the blue, showed me a video about a girl’s transformation from a fair-mediocre girl to a plastic-looking barbie doll by using make-up and I have to admit, that the girl got my attention. I searched this girl on YouTube, found out her name is Michelle Phan, a spokeperson for LÂNCOME Paris and also found out that she is a professional make-up artist with lots and lots and LOTS of make-up tutorial videos which I find very good. But you know the clique’s rule. Once a person is popular and has billions of fans, along came haters. And these haters are really annoying! Not that I’m in Michelle’s side or anything but these haters are people who have nothing to do in their life, got jealous to people’s popularity and not happy about it. When I see quality, I see quality, and she is GOOD! They’re just being such a pain in the ass because they can’t achieve much in their life. Haters go to hell. I mean it.
Well, what does it has to do with my post and my post’s title? In one of her video, when she tried to mimick Sailormoon, she put in a heart-grasping ending. Maybe she attached that ending because of the uneducated critics from those uncivillized-foul-mouthed-unhappy pilgrims which flows like a river. She told us about dreams and achievement. About how we must be strong to face our life. And sometimes, when we know that we cannot move on, we will turn to something that can make us stronger, sometimes an alter ego, like a girl and her superhero costume. It makes us feel stronger, makes us feel invincible. For her, make-up is her alter ego and no one can change it. I almost cried when the video ends. God, it’s such a moving video :')
And then it strucks me, sometimes what you see as a loser quality in people around you (based only on your point of view) is actually someone’s alter ego, their whole existence and maybe: their only reason they find worth it to continue living. For example, people who spent their life in a game centre, beating high scores or people who rot in net cafes, struggling to get through level by level of online gaming seems like an obligate losers eh? But maybe it is their alter ego. If they couldn't be somebody in the real world, why don't they be a hero in their own world? They turn to their fake world because they find strength, invicibility and the most important, comfort in the world they call their own. And they are not a wanderer. They have goals they wanted to achieve, a purpose of life, even though it's not as great as some people's. And that's a great thing isn't it? Finding out that an unimportant thing is actually your whole existence in the universe.
But then you asked, what is the meaning of life? Nor I can answer that question. But I believe that God didn't create all of us to be successful because what fun would it be if you have everyone in the world equal to each other. But I didn't say that God created some people to fail, but more of He created some people to succeed in His way. And the true meaning of success is not one. There are 6,884,909,953 definition of success. Say me, my definition if success at the moment is to achieve gold medal but in the same time, the definition of success according to a fisher in a pond must be to catch a 19 inch largemouth bass.
And so, this opens up my mind. I won't be judging people anymore by what they do, how do they look like, what they were thinking, how lame is their life purpose or how ambitious some people are. Because hey, I'm not going to be a people who's going to ruin someone's dream in their own comfort zone. Achievement is achievement. No matter what it is or how small it is. If someone calls it their achievement than it IS an achievement.
Aaaanndd to end this post I'm going to quote a beautiful mockquote (an edited famous quote), but check it out, it's very good:
Cross my heart, but I don't want to die. Heaven knows, well at least I try
Confused? Now that's the art of poetry guys! You have to figure out what it means. By the way I read this when scrolling through the tweets of a friend of my friend and I just stopped to admire how beautiful (but in the same time amusing) this mockquote is hehe
Okay then I'm doneee. Oh and I almost forgot, you can watch Michelle Phan's video I'm referring to by clicking here. It's almost dark and I have to get back to my dorm. I didn't asked all of you to agree with me. I just love the pleasure of telling people what I was thinking.
Merci, mon cher lecteur! :)
