The star has arrivedz! After like 32 hours of travel I am finally here!
Mood of today: Happy
Weather: Way too sunny and way too hot (in other words 27 degrees and Sun)
Time to be egoistic; if you are not interested in what I do or my life - please don't keep reading.
My family and I are at the moment staying in an apartment in Manley, a suburb of Sydney. This suburb has like one shopping street that is like 50 meters or something. And that's it. Other than that there are two beaches, one that is very close to the house and one on the other end of the shopping street.
The other beach is really big and if you are person who likes beaches (in other words not me) you'd think it is amazing.
I can not say that it is not beautiful when the turquoise waves roll in, one by one to create a symphony that will flush away all of our troubles.
Only if it wasn't so hot.
When I came to the beach the first time (the whole suburb is basically beach, and people wear their bikinis in the streets), I thought "how can everybody be so skinny here"? Because earlier that day, I had been to the supermarket, and I tried to find food such as plain yoghurt, unsalted nuts and other GI friendly things.
It was really hard to find and when I finally had found everything and went to pay, it ended up costing a minor fortune.
Long story short, being healthy here is hard.
Anyway. At new years eve (yesterday) the city was crowded, everybody seemed to be outside. And then I realized; there are way more bigger people here than there are skinny people, but they stay inside.
And it is not hard to understand why.
Because who wants to show their body like that when media is constantly throwing at us that we should look good, otherwise we shouldn't show at all.
This is just terrible because you can't really become healthy if you stay inside.
This pisses me off!
Movies choose beautiful actors and actresses for the main roles. Commercials and ads are telling us that if we just buy their product, we can become just as happy and beautiful as the retouched and plastic people in the ad. Even a big part of the music industry is telling us that if you just have love, then everything will be okay.
DON'T LISTEN! No matter what you see, or hear, beauty is not going to make you happier, nor is the unnecessary crap in ads. The only thing that is going to make you happier is self esteem and the ability to be pleased with your life and like what you've got.
The only part of this post that you really should read is the red part, the rest is more for me, so it is kinda crappy - Editors note (who else?) -
