I don’t find tattoos, ear stretching or smoking even remotely attractive. To be honest, I personally find them rather unattractive. There’s something to be said about independence and responsibility… but when part of that “fuck you mom and dad” attitude involves shoving needles through your skin, putting holes in your ears, filling your skin with ink and slowly killing yourself… It doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe I’m just not cool enough to join your hipster club, but honestly if you’re going to do any of that to your body don’t ask me for my opinion… here it is. In 10 years when you’re trying to get a job to support your family, with earlobes on your shoulders and ink covering half your body, don’t come to me for sympathy, I’ll only say I told you so. And smoking? Don’t even get me started. It is a selfish, disgusting habit. Do intelligent people smoke? Sure. But I’ve seen far too many people important to me suffer and lose their lives because of it. I’ve seen far too many people waste money on an addicting, deadly habit that smells disgusting, yellows your skin, and poisons your body. Why did you start? I don’t know. Maybe you think its attractive, maybe you do it because you think other people think its attractive.. But if you’re thinking about starting, please, consider the consequences.
I find simplicity attractive. You don’t need piercings or tattoos or fancy clothes or a cigarette in your mouth to be noticed. Your eyes are all the beauty I need.
Am I perfect? No. Of course I make mistakes. Do I have bad habits? Yes, everyone does. Before you start hating, realize that this is my opinion, realize that this is my perspective, how I feel about these things and how they’ve affected my life and the people I know and love.
