I remember, before I left college to come home for the summer, I joked with some of my friends that when I come back in the fall I will be glowed up. In my head, at the time I was thinking I will learn how to do my makeup well and wear it every day at school (wow that sounds so funny when I write it now). Knowing me, I don't have the patience to do all that and it would be a miracle if I even get up that early in the morning without snoozing my alarm 20 times. But the thought surely sounded good at the time. A few days ago I said the same joke again to my sister, joke or no joke, the chick spit some fire words that I will forever remember. She said and I quote, "Glow up isn't all about your looks, it's mainly about your personality." I had to chew on that for a while - it made sense to me. Changing your looks doesn't always guarantee that you will become a better person. I like my personality and my looks, and if it changes as time goes, well change is inevitable. As for now, I will work with what God gave me because it's everything. The way I look at it now is there are so many aspects of glowing up, to me it's not about the looks as long as I care for myself. To you, well that's for you choose, as long as it makes you happy.
