‘Beauty’ has been defined in so many different ways over the years.

What even is beautiful? Is it the one who wears the most makeup, or the one who simply wears none? The one who is worried about their perfect complexion, or the one who embraces the blotchiness? The one who spends the most time in the mirror, or the one who barely looks at their reflection? Who made it known that we have to worry about having the perfect shape eyebrows, the perfect eyeliner wing, the clearest complexion, or that perfect highlighted glow anyways? Glamor doesn't define beauty.

Honestly, no one can define your own beauty. That is not a power anyone can have over you.

There are an endless amount of things to be other than beautiful. Be intelligent, be humorous, be loud, be a klutz, be adventurous, be talented, be proud of yourself for once, be happy, be passionate, be soulful, be unusual, be different. Being different is far more interesting than being something you're not, or trying to be like someone else. Being different is refreshing, and it keeps this complicated life interesting. Being different allows you to see things from a different perspective than others, your own perspective. It allows you to sit back and endure the rare beauty in things that people don't usually take the time to see or to appreciate. Finding the pure happiness in the simple things this life has to offer can be beautiful. People may judge you for being strange, or different. Some may even envy you for that. But nothing is more original than being your definition of amazing. That is so much more important than being beautiful.
