It's a topic I never discuss because of its absolute fame and and reign on african communities.
As I was working towards the 19000th thousand way to achieve my ultimate bad body, I taught about how beautiful women look in their wedding dresses and all the pressure put of themselves to achieve that glow.
The ones who never step a foot in the gym start jumping jacks, and fleeping cart wheels, the ones that never scrub their bodies develop a sisterhood with a foreign beautician they have to travel miles away to meet because it's a ✨ secret ✨, the ones who never do facials start religiously following the dermatologist appointments so on and so forth!
But what always rubbed me the wrong way was the famous... What after?
What happens after the wedding... Well... The gym membership is cancelled or eventually never thought about again, the beautician becomes a stranger, the dermatologist is now a foreign specialist that we one saw. Is he in practice again? Dr who? Ohh yeah I saw him once!
Now,
what if we didn't wait for a wedding?
What if we didn't leave our lives into the hands of an uncertain event?
What if we worked our asses of at the gym like tomorrow they will meet the aisles?
What if we actually kept in touch with the beautician?
What if we bought donuts to the derm for our biannual check?
As we are approaching the middle of the year what if we were simply our best?.Just because 🤷🏾♀️.. Just for a try? ...
