Looking at people from a different perspective. Define beauty, define ugly. What is it that makes your description or definition of either right or wrong? To you, it may make perfect sense. To someone else, it may make no sense at all. Perhaps you read a book and once started you just could not put it down. You absolutely had to finish it. Simply because it was such a good book in your opinion. But then, when you mentioned it to your very best friend, well… they just totally disagreed and thought it was the worst book ever. Have you ever noticed the variety of vehicles and colors of vehicles on the road with you every day? Do you think it was because they had no choice or because they did in fact have a choice? Have you been in a paint store lately and looked at the multitude of color charts? People are just like everything else in our lives. We come in all shapes, colors, and sizes. What may be beautiful to you may not appeal to someone else at all. What is not attractive to you may well be everything someone else ever dreamed of. People are much like a box of crayons. All very unique all by themselves, and capable of even more beauty if carefully blended with another. It is the media that tends to plant in our minds what beauty is and like puppets on a string, an overwhelming majority tend to follow more so than looking into their own minds and hearts. We all have some similar yet also some very different tastes in a lot of things. Do not beat yourself up because you are different, we are all different. Do not let those ill-thought-out comments made toward you define who you are. I can assure you to someone you are perfect in every possible aspect of the word perfect. I have never known of any relationship that was a complete success due to its superficial aspects alone, have you? Rest assured more often than not what you are looking at today will not look that way years down the road. Therefore, if you base your love for another on superficial beauty alone it will ultimately fail. The essence of us all is not what is on the outside but what is on the inside. Love with your heart, not your eyes. You, my dear friend, are like a crayon, unique and beautiful through and through, and you are my favorite one.
