'Never underestimate the power of glitter. It's Kindergarten 101, really. Squeeze an unrealistic amount of glue on construction paper. Dump a pile of glitter on top. Shake. And let dry. Glitter is like ... little flecks of brilliance caught in a tube. A miracle in a jar. Because glitter can take any work in progress to that next level. It hides the most glaring of imperfections, works to bring out the best in everything. It takes the ordinary and turns it into something interesting and beautiful.' - Cross My Heart by Katie Klein
So true, don't you think. Glitter is so fascinating, really, it definitely enhances stuff, but it's sort of like this opaque veil that masks imperfections and hides the ugliest of truths. But when all that glitter is scraped off, the veil evaporates to reveal the honest, ugly truth underneath. Sad, really, how some people just keep piling on layers and layers of glitter over their lives, people don't recognise them anymore, they can't even recognise themselves.
True, glitter may represent some form of better reality. Honestly though, masquerading as someone else is definitely not something you want to spend your entire life doing. People forget that Halloween lasts only one night, leave their costumes on too long, and it becomes a permanent part of them. Not them, but a part of them, see the difference! And they end up forgetting who they were underneath all the costumes and make-up. Okay, moral of story, all that glitters is not gold hehehe. Don't go chasing someone else when being yourself is possibly the best thing you can offer the world :))

ReplyDeletei love rachc, she made nicole cry. and she made me cry too, except i look nowhere as perfect as nicole when i cry HAHAHA but omg although she started off all shaky the song was really good and you tell there's a story behind it by the way she's singing it!!
I think it's the look on her face when she sings it, it sticks in your mind and then she ends it very well too! yea I like her :)) and I can't stand it nicole is so sweet and nice and pretty I don't see how anyone can be all three at the same time!!! :O
