If the World Was Blind

I am a teenager, 16 years of age, yet I somehow assume the role of a misconception of who you think I am. I'm not a girl who wakes up an hour early to do her hair or to put make-up on. I don't wear skirts and dresses with a different pair of shoes every week. I simply get up, throw some shorts and a t-shirt on, and brush my hair in the car. I'm surrounded by people who believe putting up a façade is who they are, layering themselves with the words "who I want to be", spending 10 minutes in the girl's bathroom looking at their reflection in the mirror. How come everybody criticizes me because I don't fall under the standard of the stereotypical teenage girl? Hey, I get an extra hour of sleep everyday, I get 10 minutes to talk with my friends or finish uncompleted homework, they don't. I start to wonder, how the world would change, if everyone was blind. Think about it, there would be no need to dress up, worry about your image, or wonder if those jeans make you look fat. People wouldn't judge you and label you for what you look like, and for not wearing the styles that are "in" or mismatching the colors of your top and bottom. The inside would become the prevalent feature, rather than the outside. People would make friends based on the qualities of a person rather than their quantity of clothes. The world would become more colorful, filled with the thoughts and imaginations dreamed by each individual, rather than conforming to the color scheme that society has set. If the world was blind, our skills would be endless, our education superior, our lives happier, and the world a better place.
