Why Change Anything About Yourself?

Why would anyone want to change anything about themselves? Is it because from a very young age a child is taught that beauty is one of the most important things. Well beauty is not that important! If someone only likes you for your looks and not your true personality then that person does not deserve to be around you. You can never be to skinny or too fat, it doesn't matter what other people think of you, don't change anything about yourself because it only really maters what you think of yourself. (:

If I could go back in time

If I could go back in time I would go back to the medieval age in England . I would do this because the clothing was very cute (if you weren't a peasant) and the people ate like savages so you would not need any table manors. The food there was also fried because. Nobody cared about health. I would only stay there for like 3 days because girls were not treated that well. I would bring back a person so I could convince them that I was an alien and freak then out. While I was there I would visit a castle so I could convince then that I was royalty from another village. Then I would go and visit a regular home so I could see what an average home was like.
