As you may or may not know.. I love clothing and personal style. Fashion is cool but I am really into self expression through what you wear. I do not spend a lot of money on my clothes and do not think you have to. But back to my point about beauty. I define beauty as someone who is comfortable in their own skin, and I struggle to articulate what that looks like.. but I know it when I see it. A beautiful person to me loves themselves and is kind to others. Sure, I admire a well dressed woman, chick with a pretty face, or great figure but I can tell you there have been times when I meet someone and think she is beautiful and she opens her mouth and she becomes less attractive( i.e. perhaps she is mean etc.) And I am no martyr. I know we all have ugly aspects within our personality. I simply am choosing to let go of that stuff. Of course I am a work in progress, I strive to lose the last 20 pounds and look "put together".. but you know what.. right now I am BEAUTIFUL and so are you!!!!!!!! Ok back to my definition of beauty. I think in bullet points so here goes. A beautiful woman is:
- comfortable in who she is... she can be a size 0, 12, or 22..... if she is happy at this stage be happy, also she is comfortable in her Race( white, black, multiracial, Hispanic etc.)
- she is kind....to herself and to others..... does not make fun of others, leave others out etc.
- she has her own personal style.... and celebrates it...(KMART, KOHLS, Target, hippy chick, preppy, rocker, high end fashion... she knows what she likes and CELEBRATES it)
- she laughs a lot, cries a lot etc.
- she cares about herself and respects herself.....
That is my list. How do you define beauty? Respond via comments below.....
So I close today with a quote from one of the women I most admire in the world... MISS OPRAH
"Partake of some of life's sweet pleasures. And yes, get comfortable with yourself. "
I define beauty by how one makes others feel, as well as how one feels about themselves. If you're confident (not cocky), caring, compassionate, forgiving, easy going, strong, and above all, at peace with yourself (and our Lord), you'll radiate beauty. And if you're all of the above, and have the ability to lift others, then that beauty radiates even more. It is always nice to part company with a friend and walk away feeling better about them and yourself, than you did when you first met up. That is beauty to me.
ReplyDeleteI just have to repeat what Therese said: "It is always nice to part company with a friend and walk away feeling better about them and yourself, than you did when you first met up."
ReplyDeleteAnd I definitely agree with all your bullets G! = )
