On Beauty

We are all SO beautiful. We are born beautiful and designed to be beautiful for long long time.

But do we know this? Do we remember that we are beautiful and deserve to be happy?

When people tell us that we are beautiful, or good, or nice, we feel flattered and happy. But we forget about it very quickly, and keep seeking acceptance and appraisal from other people. When we don't hear it, we feel discouraged and low. We crave for another approval and try to please the others to get the precious nod "yeah, good, you are good". We gradually lose the faith in ourselves and get addicted to some external factors that remind us of it. It is so difficult to have the inner strength and just know, whatever happens, we are beautiful and indestructible. We are indestructible, unless we let others destroy us - but who remembers that?

It is so hard to find strength to stop depending on others to realise how beautiful we are. It is so hard to say: that's it, I am going to make it, because I can. And you know what's funny? We really can. It's easier to say, I can't and do nothing. It removes all the responsibility from ourselves and puts it on others. It's easier to be ugly and blame the world of making us this way.

We are all SO beautiful. Let's just take responsibility for it and accept it.

Rula, I dedicate this to you, because you are one of the most beautiful people I have ever met in my life.
