beauty. more meaningful ramblings. sorry

now i think we have all had the conversation - where someone walks in and you and your friends argue if they're good looking or not. that's the confusing thing. what really is a definition of beautiful?

and what makes people beautiful - how they were born or how they present themselves?

and the price of beauty. oh, the price. 

personally, i think the best single word to describe beauty is symmetry. you know, the whole arms the same length, eyes the same level and full set of teeth symmetry. but, if you look at someone who is completely symmetrical down to last detail, they look really odd. i mean, like doctor who alien odd. 

what we see as beautiful is different and individual for every person - like a fingerprint. i think celebrities are the best example of this - a lot of people think mitch hewer is beautiful, but he's not everyone's perfect idea of a beautiful person. (he comes pretty damn close though in my opinion XD )

not everyone is born with good looks which also opens up the idea of natural and false beauty. i know people who look beautiful without make-up and false hair etc., and i also know people who wear make-up beautifully. 

personally, i think true beauty comes from someone's personality, and that's not just about their interests or qualities. people's personalities determine the way they present themselves. for example, my personality means i wear make-up to accentuate my facial features (and make spots disappear XD) and also to do my hair in a certain way and wear certain clothes. so is beauty really about what you have, or is it about how you use it?

but, like everything, beauty has a price. people will go through so much to attain their idea of a perfect body. plastic surgery, mental workouts, injections, lasers, razors and anything else you could think that causes some sort of pain to make you look different. 

my point being - it's all a bit pointless. 

everyone has a different opinion of beauty, so maybe you think being a platinum blonde with a tan is beautiful whereas someone else might think having dark hair and pale skin is beautiful. 

but this is a good thing. if everyone's idea of beauty was the same then we all try to look the same. now how boring would that be!!!

so, just a quick message. you can never be everyone's idea of beautiful. but you are someone's. yours. so never ever EVER try to be someone else's version of beauty. because then you would be someone your not.

and that sucks.

and guaranteed someone is gonna love you for not looking like everyone else.
