"I am not a fool,
and she cannot make me into something I am not".
- Rosie in Princess Protection Programme
“Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but really loves you, then you become Real.” "Does it hurt?” asked the Rabbit.
“Sometimes,” said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. “When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.”
“Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,” he asked, “or bit by bit?”
“It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse. “You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”
Just two quotes about being real. The first quote is from the DChannel movie Princess Protection Programme, I watched it with my sis today and its actually pretty nice. I think Demi Lovato is quite pretty Selena too but Selena has abit of a baby face! The second quote is off Shir's blog. I thought it was very true and so subtly meaningful.
More about being real - today in the New Paper there was an article on a 20 year old model who posed nude for a magazine. The difference was that she was totally natural, baring all, including her tummy flab, and that made her more beautiful than most other models. The article is titled "Flab is fab" or something like that so if you have time you should give it a read!
Its hard to be real, isnt it? I remember how when I first entered Dunman High i was all into trying to be cool and to look cool and to be that girl. Short skirts and immaculate hair were all in the target. Looking back, how i wish i had come to my senses earlier and realised how being cool and looking good is only temporary, and that the only thing worth investing time and effort in is how you shape your character and the person you want to be.
And when youre real, you cant be ugly, except to people who dont understand. I sound like mr sng, uh!
