External beauty VS inner beauty

Sleepless but tired with emotions. Was scanning through "You tube" for comedies. He mentioned he had seen that show and I thought it was a good idea to try my luck. I managed to find "200lbs Beauty", in Korean with English subtitles. It took me a few good hours for 13 episodes on the website.

In the beginning it was all light-hearted. How an ugly, clumsy and fat girl uses her gifted voice to sing for someone else and her "aunt agony" hot line. She fell in love with the producer who was into her innocence. She was made fun of at his party by the girl she sang for. Her lack of confidence made her decide to go for a plastic surgery. A total transformation. (Do girls really do that? Is there such a good surgeon?) She became a princess of her dreams. She got away with many things due to her flawless "natural" beauty. In the process of it, she lost herself, her best friend and dad. Finally at her own dream concert, she could not further disguise herself and made a true confession to the public. It was her voice that won her the fans at the end of it. It was her inner self that he could not forget. Awwww... It got all emotional at the end of the show.

It just got me into thoughts again. How many of us are real? I am not talking about plastic surgery, and even if you have done it, would you admit when someone were to prompt you? Being real to others is not at all difficult is it? Personal experience, there are people out there who find it more difficult to be real. They rather be fake, in disguise, be in false fronts, use unreal words, hide their real feelings etc.

Pausing here, ask yourself if you have been yourself or trying hard to please others by being someone else? Does it matter how we really look or is it our personality that makes a difference today? Have we lost focus on being ourselves as society moved on and seeing how others are doing? Are we placing vanity first? Are we being materialistic instead of treasuring what matters to us? Have we forgotten all about human touch?

Flawless beau, how we all think that is perfect to have.
Worthless personality, someone with that is a no to have.
Giving all yourself away, will that change a heart?
Keeping all of yourself, will that not meet a true heart?
To transform painfully for the sake of someone, will you take a chance?
To perform within your capabilities, will you not have a chance?
What is of material driven, is that worth to invest?
That of real core values, is it not worth to keep abreast?
A choice to make, to reveal.
Will that choice be of the fake, or real?
Don't ever break the hearts of people who love you for who you are.
For you are special, there is only one unique you in the world. Make you believe in you.
