That Kite Won't Fly...

Author: Mohd Parid Jaya — Focus: A critique on external validation, body modification, and the "investigation" we skip.

In the Netherlands, we have two sayings: “To float a balloon” (to test or try something out) and “That kite won’t fly” (something won’t happen or isn’t applicable).

How do these relate to the woman choosing breast augmentation? By already having the implants placed, the kite is already fluttering in the air, while the balloon hasn’t even been launched yet. In other words, a step is being taken without first investigating if it is truly necessary or desirable.

Kisses, my sweet little guinea pig. It is a shame that you pay the price for the image others expect of you—as if you have to resemble someone else’s reflection just to belong.
