Beauty is not defined by ones appearance, yet the media tends to portray so. Everything in this broken world that we reside in is believed to be determined by the amount of beauty engraved on your body.
That one girl that you rated low on a scale of ten is now starving herself and struggling with her ideal image of beauty. That girl that you said would never be good enough for anyone sits in her room every night staring at her prescription medicine bottle. That boy that you said was not really your type goes home every day and beats himself emotionally because of it.
Little does one know the art in true beauty is that everyone and everything is beautiful in its own way, but it is all a matter of perception. In order to appreciate the art of beauty and nature, you have to study the subject to develop a beautiful mindset. Look beyond their flaws and imperfections, and take a deeper look into the level of humanity; below the skin. Look at the little things, such as the quirks. Look for what makes a person uniquely different than everyone else. Believe it or not, underneath the mask that everyone wears lies an astonishing soul with a humble story. Take advantage of our intellectual minds and discover the individuality that lies within.
Once you do this, you will unlock a different sense of perception, as well as appreciate characteristics that were once viewed upon as disgust by other man kind. Renew those broken flaws into a miraculous creation. My wish for humanity as a whole, as well as society, is that their eyes will become deeply widened and hearts entirely filled.
Move past your ideal image of beauty and open your mind and heart to greater things. Once you are able to do this, you will allow yourself to experience the true meaning to not only beauty, but life.
