Beau•ti•ful [byoo-tuh-fuhl]:1.Having beauty; having qualities that give great pleasure or satisfaction to see, hear, think about, etc.; delighting the senses or mind 2. Excellent of its kind. 3. Wonderful; very pleasing or satisfying. Beauty relates to your senses — you see beauty and you hear it.
Seeing beauty may determine whether one wants to hear it.
But nine out of 10 people would rather see a person's outer beauty before discovering the beauty in their personality.
Why beautiful?
Well back at the end of December, as the previous year was coming to an end, I was getting all kinds of forwards from friends.
A friend sent me one text that read, "2010 is almost over.
Tell me one thing you've always wanted to tell me." Most of the replies I got were, "You have a big booty," "You're sexy," blah blah blah, all the typical male stuff.
Other than those I received one from a boy who had a crush on me and it really stuck out.
The text said "You are so beautiful and attractive and I would like to get more acquainted with you."
Of course at first I was flattered because I enjoy sweet compliments, as every woman does.
Then I started thinking about how he called me beautiful. I went from being flattered to downright confused.
After thinking for a while, I reached for the phone and sent a text to my two best male friends about the message.
I explained the situation, and that I felt he should have used a better choice of words, rather than calling me beautiful because he didn't know me at all.
I could have been the ugliest person on the inside and could have easily turned unattractive on the exterior.
But of course they were both confused about me making a big deal out of the word beautiful because they never thought of beauty as being interpreted that way.
Some women and men don't look at it in the same context as I do.
I interpret beautiful as a word to describe everything about a person, not just what you see.
Someone calling someone beautiful is like calling me rude when you have never spoken two words to me.
Just think about it: when someone calls you beautiful you have some type of reaction.
It may make you smile. You might even start feeling yourself, or if you're a deep thinker like myself you might become a little confused.
I'm sure you all have heard the phrase "beauty is only skin-deep."
As a woman I stick by that phrase 100 percent.
Beauty lies in you. It's not what you see in the mirror, not what you see in the magazines or on television.
It's all in your personality.
