PLAY RULES
You're a special snowflake, aren't you? So am I, so no biggie.
Between us snowflakes, let us not turn ourselves or others into tear drops.
1️⃣ Be curious! 🤓 Why else would you even be here? We're here to learn and grow together.
2️⃣ Be outrageous! 🤪 We will keep this between ourselves, but show us what you keep in your closed fists.
3️⃣ Be kind! 💕 Respect others' opinions and perspectives, even if they differ from your own. We're all here to share and learn from each other.
4️⃣ Be compassionate! 🤗 Try it for a while, just as a change from the usual apathy. Who do you become when you care? Do you even know yourself?
5️⃣ Be playful! 🎉 Let that inner child out and see what she has to say about you. It is still in there.
Remember, we're all here to learn and grow together, so let's embrace our curiosity, outrageousness, and unconventional ideas with kindness and compassion. Let's explore the unknown, challenge the status quo, and have fun while doing it! 🚀
I didn't know about the story of Pygmalion and Galatea until Alan had written about it just now.
He wanted the perfect woman.
I felt in this art (before hearing the story) it was how most of us look in the mirror and not see perfection right away. We see how are faces are not asymmetrical or even our bodies sometimes. How fuller lips or smaller ears would make us look beautiful and perfect. There are surgeons that can help us achieve this kind of perfection we seek but as see those that go to extxreme lengths always end up looking like a wax figure at a museum.
There are those that seem to have natural beauty and you may look upon them and feel they have no worries, and are never self-conscious. But even they can find a part of their body they are unhappy with.
If Pygmalion had been a real person he would be surprised to know that a lot of us fall in love with each others imperfections. The freckles that glitter your face, or that slightly crooked nose that you felt made you look like a witch. But those things are what others adore who love you because it makes you unique to them. I really hope that everyone in their life, if its family, friends or a partner, they have someone in their life who appreciates their imperfections.
Because it's what makes you, you.
(I guess I turned this into a statment lol sorry.)
