Faith over filters. Truth over trends.
🎧 Because I’m not here for your aesthetic algorithms. I’m here to reflect the Light in a dark world.
Yo, fellow dreamers of the neon night and keepers of truth! Let’s drop the beat and crank up the color, ‘cause it’s time to realign our value system. We’ve been surfing a pixelated web of opinions, where everyone wants to be the main character in this decade’s digital drama. Everyone wants to be a special snowflake. It's unreal.
✨So what inspired me to write this? Honestly, I’ve been seeing way too many cringe posts lately—people trying to box others in, push others out, acting like they’re extra rare just because they fit a certain look or vibe. Like, really? Since when did blue eyes and red hair make someone the ultimate collector’s edition? We're in the West—those features are everywhere, every corner, even at the grocery store. But nah, they’ve gotta stretch the comparison to the entire planet, as if everyone’s trying to compete with the global population stats.
But here’s the wild part—if they actually zoomed in and compared themselves just within Western culture, they'd realize real quick that they're not as uncommon as they think.
🚫 Spoiler: being common isn’t a curse, and being “different” isn’t a golden ticket either.
And here’s the neon truth—none of that surface-level stuff defines your value. According to scripture, "pedigree" doesn’t mean a thing in the Kingdom of Heaven. 💥 Your worth isn’t in your eye color, your genes, or your glow-up—it’s in the image of God you were created in.
💫You are chosen by grace, not by color. Designed, not compared. Called to radiate, not compete. Let’s break the mirror of hype and reflect something holy. 💿🌈
So, let’s pause the cassette and rewind to what really matters.
This isn’t just another synth-soaked rant about beauty standards and color hype. This is a TRUTH DROP in vintage form, and it starts with this: 🛑 Being put on a pedestal doesn’t mean you’re being persecuted. 🛑
🎮 Level 1: The Retro Color Trap
We live in a world that’s overdosing on aesthetics. Some are out here acting like their eye color is their calling card—like they’ve been chosen by the cosmic hairbrush of destiny. Light features, dark features—it’s all just pixels in a bigger story.
They say things like “Recessive genes: hard to get”—like they’re a limited-edition action figure from 1983. But you know what’s really rare?
🛑 It’s rare to find people who actually carry the likeness of God in their spirit. 🛑Not just those who quote Scripture on their bio, but those who live it when no one’s watching. That’s harder to find than any blue-eyed, red-haired combo.
They chase “recessive traits” like they’re divine proof of uniqueness—but God doesn’t rank His children like Pokémon cards. His definition of “special” is the heart that beats for truth, for love, for righteousness. In His eyes, the rarest trait isn’t physical—it’s holiness.
I've seen comments such as:
((Just pointing out how powerful it is to simply exist with blonde and red hair. They have to try to diminish it while expecting us to care anything about them. Very amusing.)) -AhComfy
While the world flexes filters and flaunts features, heaven is searching for something far more powerful:🕊️ A heart that reflects Christ.💡 A life that radiates light in a dark system.⚡ A soul that hasn’t sold out for applause or approval.
The truth is, it’s easy to be born with blue eyes. But it’s hard to walk with rare vision. To see past the noise. To choose character over clout. To stand for truth when it’s not trending.
You want to talk rarity? Try finding someone who’s humble, faithful, and unbothered by the spotlight. That’s the kind of “hard to find” the Kingdom’s counting.
So, forget the recessive gene hype. You were called, not curated. Born to reflect His likeness, not to chase after genetic bragging rights.
God didn’t create you to be idolized for your appearance. He created you to shine His image.
You’re not a color. You’re a called one. And that’s far more powerful than any genetic “rarity.” Because beauty fades. Trends pass. But a heart aligned with Heaven? Now that never goes out of style.
💾 Level 2: Digital Prejudice ≠ Real Persecution
((Unlike blondes and redheads, brunettes don't get bullied for their hair color.)) -AhComfy
Let’s be real. Being left out of a meme isn’t oppression (as you always say to us). Getting unfollowed doesn’t equal being hunted. Meanwhile, Christians around the world are being silenced, jailed, and killed for standing up for Jesus.
You wanna talk about being “targeted”? Look beyond the lens flare of your selfie. There’s a global war on faith that barely gets a blip in the algorithm. And we’re out here debating which shade of blond is the most misunderstood?
C’mon now. Let's stop confusing being different with being oppressed. Because truth is, everyone faces hardship—regardless of color, creed, or retro filter.
🕹️ Level 3: No More Pedestals, No More Pity
You’re not a victim. You’re a victor.
Don’t let society trap you in a glass cage of victimhood, whether you’re a sun-kissed redhead or an amber-eyed rebel. You were made for more than chasing validation. You were made to reflect the glory of your Creator.
And get this: God’s beauty standard? It ain’t based on RGB values. He looks at the heart, not the highlight reel.
“You are fearfully and wonderfully made... in full analog definition.”
🚀 Final Level: Faith Over Filters
So how do we rank importance in a world gone pixel-blind?
👁️ Not by color.
✝️ Not by popularity.
🔥 But by conviction, love, and courage.
Let’s stop obsessing over vanity metrics and start measuring what matters. You can be rare, fabulous, powerful—and still not make your life about being the rarest shade in the crayon box.
Because the rarest light of all?✨ Is the Light of Christ in a world that’s losing power. ✨
💾🔥 You Don’t Need to Be Exotic — You Just Need to Be Anointed!
So, how do you deal with people who let this go to their heads? You ever feel like you're stuck in the background while someone else is flexing their “rare features” like a prize in a claw machine? You know the type — strutting around like life handed them the golden joystick and then telling you to stop being “jealous” because you’re not some tall, blonde-haired, green-eyed, 36-inch-legged unicorn with a fan club. Oh brother. 🙄
Well, here's the Synthwave truth:
God doesn't vibe with arrogance — and your worth? It's not on sale at the looks counter.
Now, some of us actually do struggle with envy. And not just those of the brunette group, but women of all groups. We know because it's a part of the fallen sinful nature we were born with. And it starts when we compare ourselves to other people. In the blog post The Struggle with Worldly Standards of Beauty: A Reflection, I speak on overcoming envy, jealousy, and comparison. This was a hard lesson for me to learn as a young person, so I hope it helps you come out of the muck as it did me!
🚨✨Radical reminder, dudes and dudettes:
I’ve got zero reason to be jelly of anyone else’s vibes. 🤙 Someone else’s dream job, killer style, glow-up, or crowd of fans? Doesn’t cramp my wave.
🌊🌈 Their wins don’t cancel mine. There’s plenty of runway on this neon highway. 🚗💨💜
So the next time someone leans in all smug and says,🕶️((“We’ve got super special powers you’ll never have…”)), Just flash a smile and say,🧃 “Oh, but you’re forgetting something — you can still win with these cards." So, play them right, baby. 🃏✨
Play your deck, stay in your lane, and ride your wave — you don’t need to steal the spotlight to shine.
🌟 There’s room in the synth-city skyline for us all to rise. No gatekeeping in this future.
📀💽 So let's ditch the envy, crank the courage, and glow like there’s no tomorrow. The scoreboard’s got space for everyone’s high score. 🎮🕹️
Pride: The Ultimate Spiritual Glitch!
So, you begin to put your confidence, not in your physical appearance, but with God. Loving your appearance just comes with it. Now the devil brings in his lies.
You’ll hear ‘em say stuff like:💅 ((“Oh, that? Pshh, nothing special, hun...”)) — right after bragging like they’re the main character in a Saturday morning cartoon. 😒
👀 I’ve dealt with those glitchy egos before — no biggie. But just remember this, my neon-loving legends:
🚨 Pride is Not Power — It’s a Glitch!
“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”— James 4:6
In God's Kingdom, pride is a virus in the system. Those who strut and boast are cruising for a crash. But the humble? They're running on grace fuel, and that ride never ends.
💿 Beauty Isn’t Just Skin-Deep — It’s Spirit-Driven!
“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.”— Proverbs 31:30
Looks fade. Filters glitch. But a heart that fears the Lord? That’s forever retro gold. You don’t need to be the centerfold — you were already center stage in God’s design.
📡 God Sees You, Even if the World Doesn’t!
“Man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”— 1 Samuel 16:7
The world might be hypnotized by the hologram, but God sees the soul beneath the synth. You were wired with eternal worth — no upgrades needed.
⚡ You Don’t Need to Win the Favor of Men — You’re Already Chosen!
“Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”— 2 Corinthians 10:17
So let them brag about their stats. Their beauty is on a timer. But your confidence? It’s backed by Heaven’s eternal power grid. Your boast isn’t in your shade of your hair — it’s in the Lion of Judah.
True power? It’s walking humbly in God’s light, glowing from the inside out, and never needing to flex. 💡💖
God’s image is not a pigment—it’s a purpose.
Beauty doesn’t fade with age—it glows brighter with mission.
And persecution? That’s when standing for Jesus costs you everything—not when someone unfollows you for your freckles.
🎤 Final Thought from the Neon Frontier:
Stop building identity on aesthetics. Build it on the Rock.
Put Jesus first. Then your people. Then your purpose. And everything else? That’s just background synths in the track of life.
