Beauty


I am merely cells with a unique DNA code arranged in a particular way that makes me, well me. There is nothing exceptional about the make up just the luck of the draw. Sometimes the deck is arranged in a pleasing configuration the out come something pleasant to most; other times it might not be so nicely arranged but the creation is none the less prefect. What is beauty its only skin deep but I dare to rewrite this expression I would say, “What is attractive? Its skin deep but true beauty come from within and it’s eternal.”
Living in one of the fashion capitals of the whole I am very accustomed to seeing drop dead gorgeous people everyday but its also a place where the dead walk. The dead that has no beauty inside just superficial shells that walk around pretending to be alive.

Watching a talk show today I saw a girl that was born with a rare genetic disorder that disfigured her. I watched as her mother tell her story I could not help but cry alone with her. I thank God at the moment for the little blessings the blessings of being normal.

I do not think most of us that God for the things that would have gone wrong but didn’t.
When the girl of 15 came out I cried even more this time for her courage to face this cruel world. She told how her fellow classmate teased her then I cried again this time out of guilt. I know I have teased many people in my life and my heart broke because I felt what she must feel and I felt ashamed of my pass action although none directed at her.
Then beauty came to mind what is really. I got my revelation soon after that what’s on the outside is just a show but the inside is where reality takes place.
I’ve met so many beautiful outside people with ugly insides in this city its not funny and even found myself changing into something ugly at times. I know now that it’s the inner beauty that should be cherished above all else because when the outer is gone all you are left with is the true you and one would hope that that you is beautiful too

Yup. No matter how many hours we spend in the gym, no matter how many abs we can or cannot see in the mirror, bald, fat, black or white, real beauty is always on the inside.

Funny how important shit always comes down to simple truths, eh?

TLO

Outter beauty fades, inner beauty is the only thing we can keep intact. You can be beautiful today and lose that beauty being burnt in the face by accident for instance. When you think about it outter beauty is extremely fragile and superficial. Doesn't mean we can't take care of ourself, but we shouldn't glorify something so ephemeral, this can't be like...the end all be all to our existence, and it doesn't define a person even if that's the first thing we see when we see others.

That's very true homie... NYC can be very cruel under all its flashy lights, glam n' glitz na mean. There are so many people who are beautiful but than speak or even give you a look n watch their images crumble.

Though outer beauty tends to be where so many place value, the beauty on the inside is what really counts. This inner beauty (or a lack thereof) shines through. I guess you could liken inner beauty to peace of mind in the sense that there's absolutely nothing that you can buy or create to make up for them. There's not too much worse than lacking inner beauty and peace of mind.

Its the inner beauty that counts... yet you post your lil pic tryin to look sexy, huh? lololol

Yeah yeah yeah... lol

No sir... I agree... inner beauty is important. I know gorgeous peeps with ugly insides, and not so gorgeous peeps that are absolutely wonderful...

But I really pity the hideous peeps both inside and out... unattractive peeps that are just evil and mean-spirited... very unfortunate.
