True Beauty

Not everything is what it seems.

Beauty. The one thing some of us tend to forget the real meaning of. There are a ton of people in this world (the stereotypical ones) who see beauty as being on the outside only. A beautiful person does not have to be nice looking on the outside in order to be beautiful. I could stop at that but lets keep going.

Beauty is often confused with the terms pretty or gorgeous. If you all calling someone beautiful then that means you have seen their actions and words being used for the better. Actions speak louder than words so if a person is so "beautiful" on the outside and go around doing things they shouldn't, then are they really beautiful? No, they are not. They are simply pretty or gorgeous on the outside, and are essentially no good.

A beautiful person will help others with virtually anything and everything. They will never make up an excuse unless it was truly an emergency. A beautiful person has nothing but good intentions. They at make a mistake here or there, but the cause will always be for the better. The thought is what always matters no matter what. If they fail, big deal, they will always get right back up and step to the plate again. They are persistent no matter what or who try's to stand in their way.

To those beautiful people out there (you know who you are), don't you ever give up. No matter what keep your head held high and never lose your persistency, because you are making a difference in peoples lives whether you realize it or not. You may not always be appreciated by others as often as you should be but who cares, it's their fault not yours. They are missing out on something wonderful.

To the people who believe beauty is on the outside, and the outside only, I hope you will realize the truth. Things aren't always what they seem to be, and should not be judged right off the bat. Ever heard or the phrase 'don't judge a book by its cover'. Well, it's a pretty good quote to live by. It has a positive effect on life.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
