Existence of Eyebags : A Reflective Retrospect

Eyebags, such lonely entities. Given the fact  that beauty seems to be one of the primary goals for social acceptance in the modern era, the existence of these hefty bags beneath your eyes often denotes a negative connotation to your complete facial profile that's why we exert so much effort towards its permanent disappearance.Trust me, if I become an eyebag, I'll question my existence too. They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul, so what do these bags imply? well, simple. Eyebags are the windows to a sleepy soul. If we are asked why we carry those heavy bags  in a regular acquaintance with a friend in the park, we usually cover up our embarrassment and inferiority through a mechanism I call as the " Busy-mode" mechanism. We usually say, "Oh, I have been staying up late these past few nights due to lots of things to do. I just need sleep because I've been so busy doing this and that", and fortunately it works! Alas!

I inculcated such mentality in the depths of my consciousness for the past 17 years until lately something came up to me like a bolt of lightning in the midst of a sad storm. I came to realize the deception of the mentality. Even if I get enough sleep, these eyebags seem to never leave my face! That's when I began to blame a more fundamental culprit : gravity. The gravitational force of gravity weighs down on all Earthly objects, including your skin. This led me to a hypothesis that the more fat you have within your eyebags (which in turn, I blame on heredity), the more heavy it becomes, subject to the force of gravity, thus,it becomes immensely saggy.

However, it didn't take long before I threw this idea into the garbage can. The validity of such theory I made was negated by a statement by Melanie Grossman, a dermatologist in New York. She said, “As you get older, your fat, like everything else, starts drooping.” Since I am still in my teenage years, why do my eyebags seem to be more prominent and obvious than those people older than me? so the theory deserves to stay in the garbage can.

I am the type of person who never settle for unanswered questions for the reason that it drives me nuts to think a million times why I have a slightly bigger version of eyebags beneath my eyes compared to other human beings. Until one time after I immersed myself into deep thinking, I was enlightened. Why would I deliberately try to conceal something that makes up a part my whole identity? Why would I hate something that makes me even more unique?  Sometimes we are just so caught up in the middle of this world's superficiality that we seek for ultimate beauty. Beauty that is nothing more than an illusion.  We should always embrace the things that make us human: imperfections. Because it is these imperfections that make us perfectly human. Instead of pertaining to eyebags as a negative accessory to our whole facial image, why not ask help from euphemisms?
 In time, we can proudly say, "These eyebags, make my whole eye profile more striking and prominent. And I am proud of them."
