For a lot of my life
I’ve scoffed at people taking selfies
For people putting on the nicest clothes
For the amount of effort people put into looking rich, looking spiritual, or looking perfectly manicured.
Sheepling into the next big skin care craze.
I’m not vain like them. No way no how.
This week, I wondered if maybe
Just maybe
What I consciously called ‘lack of vanity’...
Putting no attention into what I’m wearing
Refusing to try to dress nice
etc
Was perhaps not as spiritual as I thought it was.
If maybe it was just an external representation
Of not caring about myself.
If perhaps it is an perfect example
Of how I’ve treated myself internally.
Not sure… But it hurts to look at.
So maybe we are on the right track.
