Beauty

Beauty is only skin deep. And if people don't want to take the time to really get to know you, they don't know how truly beautiful you are. Everyone can achieve perfection, by being themselves. And learning to love what they have.

Beauty is an ecstacy; it is as simple as hunger. There is really nothing to be said about it.
- W. Somerset Maugham
 
The beauty of the animal form is in exact proportion to the amount of moral and intellectual virtue expressed by it.
- John Ruskin
 
It's engraved into our brains that we must be these stick figures. And they take someone like a size 4 and tell them to be a 0 or a 2. As if that isn't small enough. The average size for women is 14.  
There isn't really a need to be smaller, is there? There's isn't a reason to cake your face with makeup to hide something that you don't think is beautiful. I think that sometimes makeup makes you look worse. Today my mom told me that she wasn't going to wear makeup tomorrow, and that made me really happy.

You could be size 0, and wear tons of makeup and have the most expensive fashion in-style clothing, and I might still consider you ugly. Ugly runs through your bones. You're probably thinking that you're this amazing person, and yay for the confidence boost. But, vanity. Sometimes I think that people think too much of their self. 

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet
."
-- Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare
 
Beauty by Dru Hill 

Sorry, didn't notice you there
But then again you didn't notice me

So we'll remain passers by
Until the next time we speak
I hope that I can make you mine
'For another man steals your heart
And once your beauty is mine
I swear we will never be apart

Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart
And beauty is her name
I'm hoping I can make you mine
'For another man steals your heart
And once your beauty is mine
I swear we will never be apart

It didn't take much time to think about
But I didn't want to move too fast
Cuz I knew that when I saw you again
That I wouldn't wanna let you pass
Cuz my eyes have seen the glory
In the coming of your smile

So I swear if you ever come 'round again
Please stay for a while

Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart
And beauty is her name

I'm hoping I can make you mine
'For another man steals your heart
And once this beauty is mine
I swear that we'll never be apart

You are so beautiful
When I'm down and out
I never seem to get tired
Tired of your love
Cuz you are wonderful

You're wonderful
I'm just dying to make you see
Anything you want inside your heart
You can find right here inside of me

Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart
And beauty is her name

I'm hoping I can make you mine
'For another man steals your heart
And once this beauty is mine
I swear we will never be apart

Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart
And beauty is her name

I'm hoping I can make you mine
'For another man steals your heart
And once this beauty is mine
I swear we will never be apart

Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart
And beauty is her name
