You are beautiful. You've heard it in songs, in books, in magazines, maybe even in other blogs. Maybe you've read it in texts, or been told so personally, be it by peers, partners, parents, or other words that begin with the letter 'P' so as to continue this beautiful alliteration. Postmen? Uhh...let's avoid that one. Anyway. My point is that too many people tend to disregard this statement, because it has lost its meaning. People hear it when the teller has no sincerity, or maybe they just hear it so much that it just doesn't mean what it should.
People hear the word 'beautiful' and think of a blond-haired, blue-eyed anorexic bitch (Utah County, anyone?). But beauty goes so far beyond physical appearance. And when we think of it as mental or emotional, we think, "Be a good person." Though that does mean a lot in certain circumstances, that isn't ALL it has to mean. Be an individual, be caring, responsive, helpful, supportive, loving, compassionate, empathetic, logical. Be YOU. Because there are beautiful things about you, inside and out. Whether you can see them or not, other people do. Though at times it's tough to find people who appreciate the beauty in you, it's a lot more fun to do than trying to be something you're not so that you can live up to what people have come to call beauty.
