I find it ironic the efforts one put into being effortless. How one can go collecting all there is for the sake of producing an end-result of 'near-nothingness'.
"to sound effortless," says the reality show contestant at the end of a long day of rehearsals.
"to look effortless," says the the girl by the pile of clothes she's unearthed from her closet.
"wear natural make up," reads the 'beauty tips' section of some magazine.
It is a rather excruciating thought to think that the simplest things in life could actually be the end-result of layers and layers and layers (and that multipled by a gazillion) of touch ups. That it takes an awful lot of steps to achieve the lowest level of simplicity. That simplicity even has levels. That times have changed and meanings have shifted. That times change and meanings shift.
