I was a quiet and introverted teenager and spent most of my time studying and reading books. Friend? I had very few. If one of my close circles didn’t come to school or was busy chatting with other friends, I became very lonely and more withdrawn. That is a mediocre portrayal of mine.
With my nature and limitations, I like to observe my surroundings. Since most of them were my childhood friends in elementary school, so I knew what they were like. Some were already beautiful since they were little and from rich families. In high school, they grew more attractive and the center of attention.
There were also ordinary or nerdy friends. But, surprisingly they became attractive, cheerful, and a new star among other teenagers. Some others were like me, still nerdy, hahaha. Maybe because I and those of the same type as me didn’t have the money to dress up, buy branded clothes and shoes, and diligently hang out in high-class circles.
I carried all of my observations into adulthood and marriage. Once I had the means, I improved my appearance. I indulged myself intellectually by purchasing books and gadgets, and by watching quality movies. Additionally, I enhanced my appearance with nice accessories, ensuring they weren’t overly flashy. Looking modest makes me feel comfortable.
Until now, I never allowed myself to get caught up in a hedonistic social life. I always believed that gaining knowledge and cultivating positive traits were more important. While I used to struggle with my sense of fashion, I’ve finally managed to keep up quite well.
