Beauty

I was inspired by Ashleigh's blogs to write my own little blurb on what beauty is to me. I'm having a rough time not writing in question form right now. Beauty is defined, by dictionary.com, as: the quality in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations, a meaningful design or pattern, or something else. I quite enjoyed that last part. While it's incredibly vague there, it does leave it up for one's own interpretation. In my humble opinion, that's what beauty is. It is one's own interpretation. Each and every person is beautiful in their own way. Some people have beautiful bodies; Some people have beautiful minds; Some people have beautiful lifestyles; Some people have beautiful innocence; Some people have beautiful confidence; Some people have beautiful modesty. These are very few, basic examples of beauty. Many people embody many of these qualities, whether or not they choose to believe it. The cliched quote from Margaret Hungerford, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," could not be more true. So my advice to everyone is to stay beautiful. If you believe it, other people will start to, too.
