I was chatting with a hottie at the club who is the same age as me.
And she shared how much she hates / fears getting older,
which was evident regardless of her sharing that.
And she shared about the work she has gotten done (and more that she still wants to do),
which was evident regardless of her sharing that.
And while I’m not opposed at all to people doing exactly what they want to do to, and with, their bodies…
(because I certainly intend to get ‘work’ done in the future — not botox or implants, mind you, because I don’t want that in my body…
and not because I think I ‘need’ it… (DUH)
and I will have no problem sharing that process if and when I do it — because you already know I could care less what you or anyone else would think of that)
you can tell the difference between someone getting work done in an attempt to ‘hold on’ to something they perceive is fading — which is fear / illusion / compensation based…
and someone getting work done for the fun of it,
and just because that’s the next true step that reflects the vision of themselves they want to step into.
And if you have the means and the desire to shape your vessel in any way you like, and in a way that feels safe and perfect for you, go for it.
It’s only a body.
And it will (re)turn back to nothing soon enough.
But…
Getting work done won’t quell the noise if the noise is what’s driving you to get it done.
Just like more money won’t solve your money problems.
Because money problems aren’t about money.
And the compensatory drive to change your appearance is not about your looks / your body / the aging process, either.
The noise has nothing to do with those things.
And you need to do the work to see through the bullshit of that so that if and when you do choose to enhance your vessel, it can look and feel natural / completely accurate on you (even if it looks artificial), because it’s a true reflection of you and the vision you want to step into; not an attempt to ‘fix’ what you’ve yet to address internally by ‘fixing’ something externally.
Not the vibe.
And…
If you are someone that judges people who get work done,
then that is the noise you need to contend with and see through.
Because your judgement is not about other people getting work done.
