So to all of my followers or to anyone who comes across my blog for this post I want to do something kind of like a survey. Whether I have changed your mind to where you think there is it is not a definition of "beauty", I would love to know what you used to or what you think beauty is; your personal definition. Remember, even if you have changed your mind to where you now think that there is no such thing as a true definition of "beauty", I am curious to know what you used to think it was or for some people what there definition still is.
It's only fair that since I am asking for y'alls opinion that I should give my own! Growing up I did believe that there was a definition of beauty and I was obsessed with it. I used to religiously watch the Victoria's Secret annual fashion show and ladies...you know where I am going with this! I would always say or think, "Man, they look perfect! If only I could have the motivation to work and have a body like that." So pretty much I thought they were flawless which in my head was perfect. But now, a year or so later, I have come to realize that being perfect would be so believably boring. Being imperfect is about living your life and learning from your mistakes, without that...you would go through life not knowing how to appreciate anything because all you know is perfect. You would never appreciate working out and reaching your goals, finally! So now that I have expressed myself, it's your turn!
What is or what was the definition of beauty to you?
Katie.
"Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight." -1 Peter 3:4

ReplyDeleteYou have really brought my eyes to see more things than I ever thought I would. They other day I was on Facebook and a girl posted a picture of the lemonade containers at ChikFilA. One said regular with a lemon that looked like a chicken, and the other said diet with a lemon that looked like a chicken. EXCEPT the diet lemon was skinny!! I couldn't believe I had never noticed it before. My definition of beauty has always been really superficial because the women in my family have always had this obsession with looking "perfect" and although I fall to this family norm often I try my hardest to break from it. Love your posts!!
ReplyDeleteBeauty was being able to afford all the things in the world and be famous. Today beauty means a lot more than that; its having a great personality, being honest, generous, wanting to share what you have and know with others, and having a kind heart. The world is in need of this beauty.
