When I hear the word beautiful, what usually comes to mind is the looks of a person. However, I really want to redefine that definition. I want to make it more than what it seems.
For example, when people look at me, they probably see that I’m very tall, I have long hair, and brown eyes. I have so much more to me than that, and I want the world to see that I have potential to be a beautiful person, inside and out.

“I remember when I was younger and I wanted to be beautiful, now I’m older and I want to be intelligent. I want to burn hearts with brilliance and engulf souls with compassion. I want to be loved for my thoughts and nothing else”.

This quote means so much to me because now that I’m becoming a young woman, I want to be known for more than just my looks. I want people to look inside of me, and hear what I have to say. I want to capture minds with my knowledge and be loved for my brain. I work hard, and I’m a dedicated and loyal person and friend. I put all my effort into everything that I love, and nothing less. I want to be known as a beautiful person for putting in what I get out of everything that I do.
I also want to be known as beautiful for being kind and respectful. I desire to be seen as a beautiful person inside and out who has the grace to be a respectable and honorable woman. I am a kind person, and I treat people with the same amount of respect as I would want for myself. I want to be seen as beautiful for being the bigger person, and for standing up for what I believe in. I also respect myself and stay true to my values, and being seen as a beautiful person for that quality is what I desire mostly.
Also, I love to share what I have learned with the world and teaching others what I know. I care so much about other people doing well in their school and career fields that I want to help them. I want to be seen as beautiful for looking into someone else’s point of view and connecting with them any way I can. I love watching people grow in their self-esteem.
Redefining beauty is important to me because there is so much more than just a pretty face. There is a numerous amount of potential in a person. Sometimes, even just speaking to them for a few minutes, you can get so much from that conversation. Opening someone’s book and figuring out who they are defines their real and inner beauty. People are beautiful in their own ways, and I’ve been taught that since I was a little girl. What really matters is that the inside matches the outside. Beauty is seen in all aspects of a person, no matter who they are.
