Most people hold it to be common knowledge that you can change your facial structures and features only through means such as surgery or, perhaps, fist fights. However, I am here to tell you otherwise. What if I popped enough zits in my life to have a farmboy face? What if I tan just enough to start being considered black? What if I even so much as focus on certain features of my face more than others and, for that matter, if I focus on others' features in certain ways as to affect even their own facial structure?

In my experience, and this is what got me thinking about this, I have friends who do all sorts of stuff with their faces. I don't mean makeup, or surgery, or anything like that. Rather, I refer to more nontraditional considerations such as acupuncture, chiropractic, or straight up washing your face. People speak of having a glow, or clearer skin, and so on, but what does it take to attain these ends?

I will tell you, it's simple enough. Basic health and so on. But what of the more direct modes of specific facial improvement? Goji and gooseberries, getting the right type of light, hell, even just believing in yourself.

You know what I do in the morning every day? I wake up, look at myself in the mirror, and think to myself this is how I look today. You'd be amazed at how differently I percieve myself even from moment to moment. Sometimes I see a stud, or a stoner, or a raggedy old person. It all really dependds. On how I'm feeling about myself, on what others percieve of me, of how the day is going for the world as a whole.

We perhaps feel differently at times and then have the corresponding way we then look differently. The point is that we can work on ourselves naturally, and not just in some bullshit fad diet way. Sure I can be called out all I want for being so holistic about how I go about this, but I put effort into it, enough so that it works, at least relatively. There's more work to do, though at least I have a start.
