Why Are You Worth Knowing?

This was a random question on a random post I saw recently.

As I started a tally of all the reasons in my head, I realized something- not one of them

included a physical attribute.

I was reminded that when I’m gone, nobody’s gonna talk about the size of my ass or abs, or lack thereof. Namely, those people so important to me.

I’m worth knowing because of my actions, personality, and how I treat others.

This realization starts to get real sticky when I also remember that I do, in fact, make a living by altering other people’s physical appearance. (Not to mention, I do plenty for myself in that department as well.)

But guess what?

It’s NOT an either/or situation.

I’ve SEEN with my own eyes, time and time again, a woman’s confidence skyrocket when she leaves my chair. This is due to both her gorgeous new ‘do, and often times, the connection we share while in my chair.

So.

Do what you need to do to be the most badass version of yourself, and don’t you dare be ashamed of that girl. (Get the lashes. The facial. Hit the gym. Eat the food. Get the Botox. Or boobs. Or highlights. Or go the other direction and do none of that. Just do whatever the hell it is that makes you feel all glowy, vibrant, and empowered.)

But occasionally, take inventory and ask yourself: ‘Why am I worth knowing?’

Because, girrrrl, both your inside AND outside are Luxuriously Dope. 🖤
