What is beauty? I would like to say beauty is unique. Then I watch a stupid reality TV program and everyone wants to have the same perfect body and no flaws and... They all look like barbies cast from the same mold in the end.
Other days I think that beauty is not even an external feature, but something more deep and lasting ( except those silicone implants, those things can even survive cremation, just so by the way) Any pretty girl with a horrid attitude will prove my point.
Why am I even wondering what beauty is? Well the thing is, I don't always know. I don't know how I can determine what beauty is, when there are so many different perceptions.
I've seen so many women/girls, who are torn apart due to their physique.
Skinny girls are making their voices heard,by speaking up when someone says mean things about them, things they should not even have to tolerate. (see my post making my skinny voice heard) Actually the point that I'm trying to make is that people try to justify what pretty is NOT and they point fingers at individuals who don't deserve it.
Now I would like to know: Does it make you feel pretty and beautiful when you point out someone's flaws and that which makes them so hideous? I don't understand the mean girls lifestyle. It doesn't make anyone happy.
What about being happy? Isn't that part of being beautiful? Audrey Hepburn said that happy girls are the prettiest. Maybe the appeal lies within the happiness? (or rather being a well balanced individual, since no one wants to be with someone...who isn't)
And when balance is mentioned, apparently beauty is all about balance and proportions.
a balance between psychological factors and physical attractiveness, body proportions and the regularity of features. This is a mouthful, in other words, be nice, well groomed and live a healthy lifestyle.
I'm guessing that beauty is all about balance, but for me (excluding industry influences) beauty lies within the so called flaws and imperfections that make us who we are.
You are so right - beauty is the total make up of the individual, body and mind. And it does not have to be a front cover body either. Good for you, a "beauty queen" model, to know this. Shows that you are more then just outwardly beautiful, but also intelligent, and inwardly beautiful!
