Being a girl

Somebody hand me a beauty product or something. See, i have never realised how unvain i am compared to other girls since i have always been surrounded by people who believes that being happy is just by simply, being happy. I snorted at girls who go around showing off their brand new shopping bags with smiles on their face. Till recently.
No, i am not saying i support giggly girls thinking that beauty, shopping and being hypocrital to their own friends just for fame and that i am jumping to the other side, if there are any.
I just realised the satisfaction of taking care of oneself. And their surroundings. I know i am a little late in feeling and aknowledging these facts but they say, better late than never right? Right. Now, why am i saying all this?
This week, i have been exercising without making excuses, making it a priority. Eventhough the obvious effects would show sooner or later, i sense the change in me from the inside. I feel more alive, corny, i know. But seriously. Also, the pleasures of shopping is just seeping in also. No wonder, girls get a natural drive from buying things. Retail therapy, they call it?
I dun think this applies to girls only. Guys too.
Contrary to popular belief, this is not superficial because making the effort to look good and feel good is not that easy. Making it part of your life is tougher. It ensures that you take care of urself emotionally too. So i succumb to this, wholeheartedly. Let's go.
