Back to Beauty
YOU are beautiful. Can a phrase this unoriginal have real depth or meaning anymore? Something so simple, but so overused that we don’t stop to think about the different connotations: To gain a fresh perspective requires that we first question our belief about what the word “beauty” really means. Real beauty cannot be molded by the innuendo of pop culture. Real beauty has no trends to which one may feel pressured to conform. Real beauty is not focused on our physical body but on our entire being…. Real beauty is immeasurable, incomparable.
In a different light: “You are beautiful” is not a compliment. Whether you are told this multiple times per day or almost never, that does not alter the inherent beauty that you ARE. “You are beautiful” is a universal truth…
Which is not to say that we should stop telling people they’re beautiful, even if we’re referring to a beautiful picture of them. It just means that for ourselves, we can’t forget that we are beautiful not because someone told us so. Our self-worth should have nothing to do with this. It is the simple truth that: our worth exists as WE EXIST.
YOU are all things. YOU are.
Peace,
Did you know that you are inherently beautiful?
Searching, always searching.
What is it that
You seek?
You won’t soon find it here.
Eyes hungry for acceptance, always searching for
Someone
Who will satisfy your craving.
You long to fit in.
You need to feel loved.
Constant reaffirmation will never bring happiness
If you cannot first love yourself.
Your beauty is astounding.
You have so much to share with the world,
But because you have no love for yourself
You are not complete, not satisfied.
Find that love and
Free yourself.
Happiness is not some external force to be discovered.
This nourishment you crave is closer than you think.
Look inside.
Come to the realization that you are
An amazing
Human
Being
With something magnificent to offer.
Accept this as love and you can
Share it with others
Rather than stumbling upon disappointment
When others are not providing it for you.
Search no longer.
Love yourself and you will always
Have love.
A blurred truth comes into focus.

Peace,
