Beauty, what is that?

Journal Entry: Thu May 5, 2011, 10:58 AM
Beauty, what is that?
Beautiful, what does it mean?

Is it a law, a dream?

I find myself wondering the answer for these questions, without coming to a firm conclusion.
Beauty. It's so powerful, yet thought to be delicate. I feel caged, like a slave without freedom. Just because of a word. Just one word. Why?

Perfect. Ethereal. Gorgeous.

Where I live beauty means having blue, green eyes and light hair. Being tall, thin.
Why am I, having brown eyes and dark hair, not beautiful?
Why am I, being fat and short, not beautiful?

Even myself I can't deny the attraction of the word. How soft, how taunting it sounds, looks, smells, feels like.

Like a world of madness, full of liars, of pain, of sorrow. Why do we have to suffer to be beautiful? I want to be real, to be me. To be normal, to be fierce.
Why does the world tell me if I'm beautiful or not?
Why do I have to be miserable while magazines show me perfection?
Why should I be perfect?

Perfection is boring. Boredom means not interesting. I want to be interesting, I want to be imperfect then!

I love my widely-spaced front teeth.
I love my brown eyes, my brown hair.
I love my big forehead.
My fatness.
I won't lie, I wish I was taller though.

Beauty is nothing and everything.
Beauty is happiness, sadness.
Beauty is life, memories.
Beauty is a tear, a smile.
Beauty is a storm, an ocean.
Beauty is music, silence.
Beauty is art.
Beauty is strange, unique
Beauty is blue, green, orange, brown, yellow, black,
white, beige, pink, red, violet, gold, silver, amber.
Big, small, short, tall, thin, giant.
Rough, soft, sharp, tender, scratchy.


But the most important meaning of being beautiful, is being true to yourself.


Cristina.

This reads like a poem, one that really touched me. Beauty is an ideal I struggle with, and I feel you have helped me with that somehow. I would like to take the time however, to comment that every single one of your photos is beautiful, entirely. Beauty is in talent, and what a talent you have.

The same question came to me from time to time, though I didn't find any answer to that.
You took the time to 'walk around' this theme and your thoughts are deep.
As for the question, what is beauty, you yourself gave an answer and I think you are absolutely right! :) :hug:

Just close your eyes... sit still... look within, there you can find real beauty.
It will make the outside just look nice :)

Well said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, though the most important perception of beauty is the beauty one sees in themselves regardless of what others consider it to be :D Beauty to me is having flaws and not being impaired by them, beauty is making mistakes and learning from them, beauty is being unique and different and not like one is part of a cookie cutter design or part of a clique that seems as if every one is rolled off the same assembly line. :D

There is no definition for beauty. Beauty is real us, it's that what we love, what we like to be and what we want to be. That's my opinion :)

La belleza está en los ojos del que mira. Todos intentamos adaptarnos a lo que otros denominan belleza, para no sentirnos solos, rechazados o abandonados.
Tarde o temprano te das cuenta de que la perfección está en cada cosa que te sorprende, en cada hoja que pisas, está en perdonar rápidamente, en besar lentamente, en amar de verdad, en reír descontroladamente (xD), en no lamentar nada de lo que te hizo sonreír ...
Otros se empeñan en creer que la perfección no existe, porque la perfección debería de ser algo de todos ... Pero bueno ¿quien ha dicho eso? xD
Ser y sentirte libre para poder crear tu propia belleza, eso es lo que creo que es la perfección.
''Cada cosa tiene su belleza, pero no todos pueden verla.'' Confucio
Lo mejor es que cada punto de vista es único y se puede compartir, muchiiiisimas gracias por esta entrada tuya :aww:
Por cierto, me encanta tu galería. Es como una banda sonora de momentos, no puedo evitar escuchar esto cada vez que subes una ''Deviation'' [link]
:aww:

It's like reading at a free verse poem. I'm utterly speechless and astounded to see that someone else thinks similarly. I think you summed it all up with the last sentence,

"But the most important meaning of being beautiful, is being true to yourself."

You gave me alot more to think about, Cristina. Muchisimas gracias por eso. :thanks:
