Beauty
Hear me out.
At some point during my 20s, I realized how asymmetrical my face was.
And yes, I needed to accentuate one eye more than the other because its microscopically smaller.
That was before the pandemic, before Zoom became a way of life.
Is it longer, too?
My right eye seems a smidge smaller than its counterpart.
When I talk or smile, the right side of my mouth raises above the left.
And in the process of essentially ignoring my colleagues on Zoom sorry, guys!
Asymmetrical faces, on the other hand, have been positively related to respiratory disease.
TL;DR: Im undesirable and my lungs are screwed.
Sometimes shedoesnt like her face, but shes decided to reclaim the word ugly.
To do this, I forced my brain to do its best impression of a Gen Z TikToker.
Last week, I spoke with dermatologistDr.
As it turns out, each side develops simultaneously but separately when youre a mere embryo in the womb.
Take that, Angelina Jolie.
Asymmetry does make a face unique and, dare I say, more memorable.
An asymmetrical face is basically art.
Imagine being a Picasso painting incarnate?
Scientifically beautiful girls cant.
Thats what Im telling myself, anyway.
