Yes, I said it and, it has not been misspelt.
Currently I am going through a phase in my life where I'd candidly admit that I 'do not' look my best.
While most of the world around us is screaming beauty and even men have taken to their gender counterparts of 'Fair and Lovely' I urge you to bring in your life a phase that you can label relatively 'unattractive'.
And the other reasons, possibly for which you are reading this post are:
For one, you'd want to spend most of your time with only yourself. Part of the de-socializing bit. Whatever maybe the reason, it's certain that you will find much more about yourself than you would have otherwise. Even Oscar Wilde seconds me on this, here's a quote of his:
"I think it's very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person."
But remember, it should just be a phase. That's what I keep telling myself. And gladly, I have moved into the exit phase.
That said, this phase is also sure to give you perspective to stay grounded. When in conversations, you will seek more than what meets the eye. Also, since you would be out of the wrap of materialism, you will pay more attention to the small details. & really, someone aptly said 'God is in the details'.
And for when you are out of it, this learning will add a layer of sensitivity to you. Am sure in this rat race all of us can use some bit of it!
I won't lie & make this game of unattractiveness seem absolutely lucrative, there is definitely a downside. It cansometimes,
(who am I kidding) lots of times, be crushing, yet you learn to see
through the physicality of the world around you. A lesson that only
experience can teach.
And that is why, I sincerely and unflinchingly recommend a dose of unattractiveness for a healthy living!

Wonder why?
One of the lesser reasons is that, if like me, you are a proud lazy, it gives you a legit license of just showing up; no pretty-ing up required. Saves a lot of time that you can utilize in doing other important things...like maybe sleeping!
