My friend sent me a link to an amazing music video by Jonny Diaz, pointing out the distortion and falsity of Hollywood’s (so-called) glamorous lifestyle. Typically, someone outside of the business would be Diaz’ target demographic, but I’m living proof that actresses, dancers, singers, and models themselves need to see this, too. It affected me so deeply, for a few reasons. First, I’m a part of this industry, though the illusions of beauty and perfection are never ones I condone. It breaks my heart to see my generation struggling and exhausting themselves to recreate this image that not even the subject upholds. And even stars within the business fall into the vicious cycle of being insecure, altering their look to find comfort, then once again falling short of satisfaction. So, I encourage every reader, guys included, to visit this link and see what Jonny Diaz has to say about this. He, a man of integrity, hit it spot on with his words, “there could never be a more beautiful you.” Enjoy!

Jonny Diaz \”More Beautiful You\”
