"My Bodies of the Year" Response

I feel like Morris does not start or end this article in a very relevant way. In the actual article, he talks a lot about how bodies are highly praised in today's world, but he did not really do a good job at connecting these many points to his main idea that today is more about the "little things." I did think, however, that he did a great job with supplying multiple examples of how this year has not been the year for "beautiful" bodies. Although, there is one huge example from 2013 I can think up the top of my head that stands against his claim: Miley Cyrus. She tried to be sexy and whatnot in "Wrecking Ball," but I don't think many people saw it as that. They just saw it as another nice Disney Channel Star going off the deep end.
Even though I do not think Morris's intro did a good job at relating to the idea that today is more about the "little things," I think the story about his mother did a great job at easing into his thoughts about how bodies are seen. He also did a successful job of reminding us that the media isn't always right and life is more than just about sexiness. I personally get tired of constantly seeing hotness and sexiness flaunted everywhere. Personally, I like it when girls are more cute than hot and it gets tiresome when I feel like every girl is aiming to be hot. It's just not as attractive to me. People are so consumed these days with finding a partner who is just hot as can be and personality, beliefs, and other things don't matter, and I think that's partially media's fault. Once you get old and your spouse gets unattractive... then what? I don't like the role that media plays in our society now. Everyone keeps up to date with all these famous people's lives and marriages and what not, and not that there is anything wrong with that, I just don't understand the point. I want to enjoy my own life and be successful in what I do, and I don't need to feel the need to follow all these celebrities who are indulging in whatever they want and coming out unhappy in the end. Basically, I just think that looks and hotness are much too overvalued in today's society. There is definitely more to life, such as my faith in God, that I would rather consume my time with than worry about what I look like on the outside. The things of this earth will pass away sooner than we know it, and I'd rather focus my time and energy on the things that will matter after it is all said and done.
