Pressure:- How do you apply it?

Hey guys😊

Its been a while, rain fell on Saturday I think and I didn't notice because literally Lagos is hot and my room now is like an oven. I don't know why I have been deceiving myself, I went home thinking I will be able to do small work, I ended up bringing it back and now its a new week, feeling reluctant to even do any work, till tomorrow.

My roommates and i,We were just talking about modeling the other night and advising someone to become a model, and one of us said it hasn't been easy for her because she keeps applying and going to interviews and they don't pick her, and she noticed it was mostly light skinned girls they picked, so she wanted to change her skin and everything to fit in, and I could totally relate with her because most times in the country you need to have an upper hand to get something done, Then another of us said nothing in the world could make her feel constrained or compelled to do something.

I won't say I blame the other person for wanting to change her skin color because I know how it feels when you've worked so hard and everything just seems to be falling apart for you. She noticed they mostly pick light skinned girls, which made her feel bad about herself because she might have needed the job to support herself. I can also remember a time when they only accepted skinny people for modeling, and so many people tried to lose weight and do everything to get picked, but it didn't work out for them.

I've also seen videos of top models who were under pressure to lose weight, and they were telling their stories of how they were mistreated by their agencies at times, all in the name of looking flawless.

I understand that it is a model's duty to appear flawless on camera, but I don't believe anyone should be put under so much pressure to the point of breaking. When I'm under pressure, I can't operate properly and wind up doing crap, whether it's cooking, reading, or anything else. Some even feel pressured to get married and all. Yes, sometimes things might not go well and you want to find a solution as soon as possible; in that process, you'll want to do everything to improve matters; all I can say is don't feel pressured to do anything that might cost you doing something extreme like a surgery or so; instead, keep working and praying.

Applying pressure can be beneficial if it is used correctly. If you are attempting to achieve a certain level, whether at school or at work, you are aware that the pressure you are applying is hard work. Some people say NO PRESSURE, NO DIAMOND.

You don't have to choose to put more pressure on yourself because the world already puts enough on you. Instead, appreciate how you grow and learn at your own pace.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.💚
