What is beauty? Some people define beauty as the outward attractiveness of a person place or thing, the media tells us that beauty is fitting into size zero jeans and wearing clothes with a famous name on the tag (ie. designer clothes). Why should the world be able to tell us what beauty is, shouldn’t we be able to define it for ourselves? Often times the world’s definition of beauty is perfection. Perfection cannot be attained under any circumstance and so we are always doomed to failure. It seems that we get so carried away with trying to make a first impression with our gorgeous looks that we lose our true selves in the process. We put beauty before brains, morals and authenticity. In our world today you can’t find a model that hasn’t had thousands of dollars in cosmetic reconstruction performed on them. Is it bad to look like a real human being? No! So why then do we think that in order to fit into society we must look like every fake, plastic movie star in Hollywood?

Beauty is in symmetry, the way a person feels about themselves and the way they express their individuality. It's truely in the eye of the beholder. Something so insignificant to one person may be the object of desire to another. Don't be afraid to be you and people will never be afraid to love you for all the flaws and beauty you possess.
You may never know what it is that you love about a person, just that you can't keep from loving them.

Beauty to me is how the thing feels to your eyes, you start to like it and gets near to it. slowly, you realize the inner qualities too, and start liking it more. then the outside attractiveness does not matter to you.
