Forgotten Beauty
Be beautiful, they said. Beauty is everything, they told us. If you're beautiful you're loved, they lied. What is beauty? A trap. A figment of imagination. Why is everyone so obsessed with how people look? Being beautiful doesn't mean that you know how to do your makeup, or were born with perfect skin, or have the best clothes. Being beautiful doesn't have anything to do with your body or what people can see of you on the outside. Beauty--however cliche this is--can't be deemed by the way somebody looks. Being beautiful is defined by the way you act, by the soul you are. The point at which someone stops being beautiful is when they are consumed with themselves, particularly their own "being beautiful." Pride is, was, and always will be the downfall of humankind. Only when we learn to love and respect others will our own beauty be manifested. "Beautiful things don't ask for attention." And indeed, they don't.
