Beauty is not feeling ashamed
after a meal, even if the meal were fried and greasy. Beauty is feeling confident without makeup
on, even at work. Beauty is embracing
stretchmarks, wrinkles, and freckles because they are the body's journal. Beauty is not feeling incompetent after a
birthday because life is not a timeline, but it is a journey. Beauty is knowing that the number on the
scale does not represent a person or his personality. Beauty is the complement
of human personality, not a replacement.
Beauty does not require a person
to spend hours in front of a mirror because beauty is natural. Beauty does not cause anxiety or suspicion
because beauty empowers its owner. Beauty
does not cause war between an individual and society because beauty is not
standardized. Beauty cannot achieved by
means of hard work, money, or any other secular things because beauty is not
worldly. Beauty does not fade as its
owner ages, but rather it intensifies because beauty is not an illusion. Beauty does not end at night, when the makeup
comes off, the hair hangs loose, and the clothes no longer restricts and marks
the flesh. Beauty does not need an
advertisement because beauty does not label a person.
Any color of skin, hair, and eye
is beautiful. Any shape of noses, lips,
eyes, ears, and jaw lines is beautiful.
Any size of feet, teeth, smile, fingers, and nails is beautiful. Any smile or laughter is beautiful. Any length of hair is beautiful, even if the
hair were not in a "normal place," or even if there were no hair at
all!
Beauty is powerful, but it should
not be a tool for greed, but for compassion.
Beauty is happiness, not self-hate.
Beauty is passion, not pride.
Beauty is timeless, not ephemeral.
Beauty is the most sincere form of acceptance.
