  • @Emidoki
    @Emidoki Před 8 lety +1

    She's very cute and seems like such a sweetie. I love the part about how waking up every day is a gift, it is! But most people take this for granted; I know I used to before I became sick and turned to pudding.
    I am just not sure how I feel about this living doll trend. I'm all for the classic lolita, mori, 90's, pastel, otomo styles which may seem strange to other people, but I get the feeling that these girls who try to be "living dolls" are going for an unrealistic beauty. The huge photoshopped eyes and overall overphotoshopped look. I'm all for Photoshop for funny/artistic purposes and taking care of blemishes/lighting but girls see other girls looking so beautifully alien and unrealistic, then photoshop themselves more ideally then feel bad for not being that way for real.
    What's the ideal doll anyway? For me, dolls come in all shapes, sizes, and colours! I would call my friends dolls because I found it to be a cute word and it was a way I showed affection. Now, I can't help but feel a little uneasy when it's overdone, not that it always is but there are some of these internet famous "living dolls" that do. I cannot judge for what they do though, they just want to be loved I'm sure but it makes my heart sink when I see a girl leave a comment like, "I wish I could be a beautiful doll like you, I'm so ugly." I do not blame them either but I want them to know that we all have our flaws that photos can hide but we also all have something beautiful about us. Even with the most beautiful girls, they feel it is not enough but they are enough and you are enough!
    Beauty trends will come and go you know. I used to be made fun of for my pale skin as I was the minority there. I felt the need to tan or use instant tanner but now that I've grown, I've come to love and appreciate the skin I'm in. I now look a little differently at people, it's nice to see all the different beauties; it'd be boring if we just looked all the same. If you want to dress up in frilly dresses and imitate the look of japanese dolls, go for it! But you can do it in your own way, you don't have to have a certain nose, certain eyes, certain jawline, certain weight, or a certain skin colour. Yet, if you want to be a little more pale or a little more tan, that's fine too as long as you stay safe and do it for you, yourself, not for other people. Still, I can see the appeal of wanting to look a particular way for others. We're just so human, what can we do? :P

  • @2manybooks2littletime25

    How do they earn money to live if hubby must care for her 24 hours a day? Does she have a paid caregiver during the hours he works? God bless him for keeping his marriage vows! A lot of spouses would leave (women as well as men). As someone who takes care of an elderly relative 24/7/365, I sometimes become so stressed that I feel my brain is going to explode. I had to quit my job and put my whole life on hold for years. I love my only remaining parent, but the situation is beyond difficult. She/he will not allow a respite care person to give me even a 4 to 8 hour break. She/he won't consider in home or senior facility respite care for any amount of time. Our county aging services case manager told my parent all of the options available so that I can get a break to see doctor or dentist for basic health care. If I must leave to grocery shop, my phone rings every 15 to 30 minutes. It's my parent wanting to know why it's taking so long to shop. I'm rarely away for more than 1.5 hours. Usually, it's an hour. I'm in prison here, no friends, no family. Being a caregiver to a beloved family member is the most difficult job in the world.
