See that pimple on her face, oh my god! Thank goodness I
have got rid of mine! I am not coming out today, I am unwell! I am down with
fever, you guys go ahead! The wedding is too boring, you carry on! Aren’t these
all such familiar excuses that we have heard off and rather used too often to
not go out on that particular day, when you have all stars popping out in red,
and your face shinning out with the extra oil, to add more to your worries.
Yes guys, let’s face it, all of this has occurred to us once
in our life time, in fact more often than that, blame it on your skin type, or
blame it to the skin you got as a dowry from your parents, or blame it best on
the increasing levels of pollution and stressful lifestyle. Trust me the answer
is not just one, but all these factors have equally contributed to the red
marks that occur on your skin.
And as a girls, this worries you all the more, it all starts
from home and then comes out in the open. From your elder sister asking you to
stop eating oily diet, to your brother adding fuel to the fire and taking away
your sweet diet. From your mother asking you to applying natural homemade
remedies to your neighbors telling you to see a dermatologist. This goes on
till you are so humiliated and disgusted with your own face that you feel so
low in morale and confidence that you decide not to step out of the house. But
let me ask you, is this the solution to your problems? The answer is no, these
are just temporary remedies you are taking to heal your wound, this problem
needs to be treated from within.
Let me share with you my story of pimple days and how I felt
then, so it all begun at an age where you want to party and freak out the most,
and trust me those are the best days of your life. Yes folks I am referring to
the college days- the fun days! Don’t we all want to make the most out of the
class bunking’s and the college gatherings. And instantly comes the answer –
yes, of course! And in such a situation one cannot entertain the pimples on the
face.
And so it was for me, and for one of the most awaited days;
the college prom night. It is that one day, which we all eagerly look forward
to, because the days in college have a mix of all emotions, from fun to
attractions, from loving to play. And so it was with me, I was quite excited
about the prom night and more so, because I was going out with a guy, who was
my crush then and had asked me out for the prom night to be his partner.
I remember, the morning, a chilly December day and there I
was in the washroom staring blankly at my pimple, which had come without any
invitation and gave no intimation. I was in tears, because I did not want that
my crush noticed a big ugly, and red pimple on my face, and right there on my
cheek. I was upset and ran to my mother for help, she as usual advised to use
her home remedies but nothing worked. I knew my day was ruined and that I would
not be able to celebrate the night, which I have been longing for, and so I
decided to ditch my cute crush, which ultimately resulted in me crushing my own
crush for a life time, as he was upset that he was ditched by me at the last
moment, but I was so helpless that I could never explain to him the reason was
the uninvited guest – pimple. And so, one of my most memorable and fun days in
college were missed out on because of my pimples.
Well guys, here is my little story of how pimples have
actually made me lose out on all the fun during the best days of my life, how I
wish I had a chance to relive those days minus the pimples.
