Beauty

Real beauty is to be true to oneself. That's what makes me feel good.

-LaetitiaCasta

The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.

-Francis Bacon

I am not here to talk about our outward beauty, but something more bigger than that. Before i forget, Happy New Month to everyone. I'm so much happy that we have made it this far, despite the challenges we faced last month but we are still standing strong. I pray the month of April be nice to each and everyone of us here, our families both nuclear and extended, more ideas to write meaningful articles, and above all, i pray we end this month well.

Back to todays topic. Seeing the title alone, what were you expecting to read? Maybe pejudear is going to talk about how gorgeous you are, or maybe she's going to talk about how gifted you are with a beautiful face, good skin, and whatever you can think of..... But no!! I want to talk about that inner beauty which you carry on the inside of you. Lets just keep aside the outward beauty for another day and focus more on the inner beauty.

Already you are wondering what our inner beauty looks like, it is just as beautiful and pretty as what you see in the mirror every morning when you wake up. Nowadays, the society that we find ourselves in has really manipulated us to put our focus more on our outward beauty forgetting the internal beauty. If we don't have the perfect dentition, have a glowing skin, or if we don't have a perfect body shape, then we will be shamed with a lot of hurting words like we are too far from being beautiful. This can lead to being depresses, or maybe struggle with ourself-worth.

Don't be decieved by what the society says, don't ever give them the chance to decide your life. Being beautiful is something that starts from the inside of a person, don't let the society lie to you that your beauty begins from your outward appearance. It comes from the inside to the outside from within, and if we allow ourselves to feel the beauty that is right inside of us first, that is more better because we will be beautiful on every side, both inward and outward compare to what the society defines beauty as.

There's this proverb that says "If only the character can be just like the body". Let me explain with an example, we have one way or the other come across people with beautiful body type, nice skin, i mean everything about their outward appearance is perfect, but they lack the right character as humans, they have a rude nature, everything that comes out from the inside of them is Zero. The next time you meet such a person again, you will automatically lose interest on them, nothing will be so special about them again even when the have a perfect outward appearance.

So now you know...paused...... I am not preaching against outward appearance, No!! But i am trying to make a point here, does it really matters? Does it really conclude everything about who we are? What gives people the impression about us is our inner beauty, the outward beauty doesn't really matter that much. But the society has lied to us that it does matter.

I guess i have shined more light to what it simple means to be beautiful outside the standards of the society. But i will still go further to write few things on it as long as the inspiration lasts. Yeah!! Personally it's not everytime i feel like to write anything even if i have the topic, when the inspiration is not there, i am just as empty as whatsoever your mind is telling you.

The next time the word beauty drops in your mind, don't defined or see it as the circular world sees it, but define it more deeper than what you see on the surface. I define beauty as simply being your best self. Being true to yourself is what i call beauty, being able to forgive others is what i call beauty, trusting your abilities to take you far in life is what i call beauty, being able to love other and also love yourself is what i call beauty.

Outside your outward appearance, think of those things that you possess that makes you beautiful. Don't be limit to what you see on the mirror, there's a greater you, a better you, on the inside. Don't let the society mislead you to think that your beauty only begins and stop on the outside. No!! It radiates from the inward to the outward. You are so free to give the outward appearance the best treatment money could get, but don't forget to also polish the inward appearance because that's where the world will see your true worth.

Beauty is more than what we see in the mirror. Go out there and radiate that light of yours into the world, believe in yourself because you are beautiful enough.
