what is beauty?
everyday you tell someone they are pretty/ beautiful/ hot etc
and some take it graciously, comfortable with how they look
some take it modestly feeling insecure yet pleasantly suprised that one would think that of them
some feel very insecure and dislike being told that, becuase they have firmly wedged it into thier minds that they are ugly and feel people are only giving them compliments becuase they are compelled to....
but in all honesty, we are all pretty, and im not just saying that
some people who are fat think that they cant be pretty..wrong..have you seen a fat person smile? i tell you they have one of the most winning smiles ever...
the other end of the spectrum you have the really thin people with strained facial features...and smiling to them is an effort...yet when you look at them when they are not trying to look perfect, you see a beautiful soul under it all...someone crying out to be held and loved, covered up by layers of make up and mascara
to me, i think true beauty is within you
when i say someone is beautful...i mean it...and though they may not be the best looking..i mean that they have a beautiful soul....which to me counts more than their physical looks
i will not deny the fact that i fit into the last catogry, i do not think of myself as beautiful....and nor do i want people to tell me i am..
i will not say i am hideous...becuase that is a lie..no one is hideous..we all have something beautiful about us...be it our eyes, our smile, or our heart...
i think when someone says "i wish i was pretty/ beautiful" what they mean is..
"i wish i was more pretty/ beautiful"
for it is true, there are some people who admitdly have better physical features than others, but i think at the end of the day aslong as your comfortable with your soul....your body shouldnt matter that much
i will honestly say that even despite all my mistakes and my regrets, all the wrongs i have commited, all those times i have hated myself...i am comfortable with my being, i know who i am, and i would not want to be someone else,
think about it...if you think that you hate your life and wish that you had never existed, then would you willing give up those few precious happy memories you had?
who knows, other people may not have had the same happy memories you have experienced....is it worth it to throw it all away?
every human has something to offer to this world, without which the world would be lacking...
i honestly dont know where i am going with this blog...
all i know is after staring at myself in the mirror and accepting that i simply am not as pretty as id like to be
i relised i have to live in this body
and should make best of what i have
for if you dont, you are truly ungrateful...
this lesson i have learnt the hard way...
believe me...

Kimmy, this is amazing.
You're really right, and I agree with everything you've said.
I know this blog is old, but I just had to read it again.
And you are beautiful, Kimmy.
Don't let anyone tell you different.

Kim thats one of the best Blogs I've read in a while!
No one is ever happy with how they look but only they can change how theyre percieved by others.
My opinion is this; those who are outwardly beautiful can have a bad personality that makes them ugly. Where as someone who looks different from the norm is beautiful in everyway because they are beautiful on the inside too.
Im a 'fat' person and I get told that I have a beautiful smile, but then when Im not smiling people say they like my eyes because there's something behind them.
The eyes are windows to the soul and for me, that is always where beauty lays. Cos after the beauty fades away, what are you left with?

o.O
Did I inspire a blog?
Oh, I feel so hip.
germma margaret!, April 2nd, 2007 at 02:47:23am
i completely agree with you. i do believe that there is no such thing as being more beautiful than someone elseand whatnot. we are all beatiful from different places.
Vegemite, April 1st, 2007 at 08:28:32pm
woooooooow that was long!
nimrod.reject, April 1st, 2007 at 03:18:33pm
i understand what you mean. one of my friends is sooooo obssesed with the way she looks, her hair, her make up, her clothes everything. me and my other mate are just getting sick of her. she is naturally very very very (i mean very) skinny and still talks about her 'fat thighs' i'm like 'shut the f*ck up!' she pretends she doens't care what other people think about her but you can tell she does coz she is so paranoid about everyone looking at her when no one even blinks an eyelid.
my point is, well the point i was trying to make is that we shouldn't care about f*cking models and all the actresses and celebritys. they're just there to make us feel ugly. we have to live our life to the full and shouldn't care about what others think, therefore shouldn't care about what we look like. you could get a really pretty person who is horrible and no one would like her, then you could get some one who is not the best looking but has a great personality and she could have more boyfriends/friends than the popular kids!!!

deep.. very deep. I agree. everybody is beautiful in their own way. it bothers me how so many people can't freaking see that. people should think twice before calling somebody ugly... or even beautiful.
threeam., April 1st, 2007 at 02:30:01pm
That blog was wonderful , and helped my mood a lot .
'we all have something beautiful about us...be it our eyes, our smile, or our heart...'
I fully agree .
Mr. Teatime, April 1st, 2007 at 11:47:15am
I am fat as hell! And ugly... Everything about me is awful. And I'm not saying that to whine.. But to say that: Everyone is beautiful... Except me!
brompton cocktail., April 1st, 2007 at 11:33:42am
''we all have something beautiful about us...be it our eyes, our smile, or our heart...''
I agree with that. And a lot of it comes from the fact that beauty is not really concrete. It's all relative. Something or someone may be beautiful to some but not to others. Just like some people like some food and not others.
That was a really nice blog.
