I love my new caramel color. My skin glows and it's the perfect shade for my features. So, you can't speak for most people here. When I look at the shade chart where people posted what shade they would like to be, many of them are only a few shades, I don't think I've seen anyone who was trying to drastically change their color. If that were the issue, some of the darker people maybe Grabrielle Union's color would be wanting to be Beyonce's color or lighter. I haven't seen this at all, although I'm sure there are some. But again she did seem to be happy with the color she is.
Yes, I agree. We all have our ideals of beauty. Some want to be darker and some want to be lighter. Some like to straighten their hair, and some like to curl it. Some like to have brown eyes, and some like green, hazel, blue. Some like to dye their hair blonde, some dye it brown or auburn, and some dye it blue or green. We all alter ourselves the way we like, whether 2 people disagree what the other does or not... we all still do it. So, if someone does not like what I do to change, then I might also not like something that they do to alter themselves. Yet, we all try to control one another in some form of way and define and say what can and can not be done; what should and should not be done. If we all had the same ideals of beauty, then where is the diversity?
No 2 people think a like, nor 2 people alter themselves the same way... yet that is a fact that we all are responsible of... I've grown tiered and restless of people pointing fingers. Because we all want to be respected for what is in the inside, not how we alter ourselves. No need to waste our breath on what someone can or can not do to alter or define themselves. When we
should actually focus more on what we should and should not do to better our earth and be good people. Much more in life that is going on like murder, suffering, global warming, situations that are more complex that should be really questioned and discussed... not something simple as one darkeing or lightening their skin, curling their hair, or changing their hair blonde... that is vague. That is how nothing gets done.
Not judge. Not question with speculation. Just focus on a real issue like "why people murder??" and "why people litter??"... I don't see that being asked and analyzed as much these days... :(
