Mes yeux

Until the age of 20? I hated my eyes. They never seemed normal to me. Huge eyelids, brown, almond-shaped, with large pupils and average lashes. Hated them. I wanted smaller, lighter-colored eyes with bigger lashes.

Unknowingly I seem to have spent the last 27 years of my life comparing myself and qualities to others, disregarding all the beauty in me, all the strong qualities I possessed, and all the blessings I was bestowed with. It is only now that I realize I have spent half a lifetime in the shadows of comparisons allowing the neediness and greediness to eat me up. And that is scary, not the feelings but the greed of wanting all the good of others.

Now, every time I realize I am envying someone else's blessings I stop myself: say to myself: Good for them. wish them luck and amplitude more of the blessings and perhaps God is kind enough to endow me with a few too.

Donc, back to my eyes. I wore contacts once and applied dark black kohl and voila, I was instantly transformed into a vixen and everyone commented and complimented my 'exotic, full of desire' eyes. Apparently, huge pupils are a sign of beauty, to absorb the loved ones into them and huge eyelids are perfect to play with eyeshadows on. Oh yeah, and the almond shape, apparently this is what perfect eyes are meant to be.

So, now, I love my eyes and accentuate their beauty at every opportunity I get. But the problem is that I am exhausting them with too much reading and spending too long a time on the web. Dark circles and bloodshot veins are becoming a norm and this is catastrophic. I must preserve my beauty by not letting it wither away.

Therefore, my recommended item du jour:
Hylexin

They say the eyes are the window to one's soul, so be good, sleep well and always believe you are the perfect creation of HIM.

Till we meet again,
