Your Looks Do Not Make You Beautiful

What is beauty?

Think about the five most beautiful people that you know. Visualize their faces. Is there one physical trait that they all share? When I think about some of the most beautiful people that I know one thing is certain. There is not one single physical trait that all of my beautiful friends and family share.

That is because when I think about beauty, I don't think about how many layers of makeup have been applied. I don't think about how much body fat people have or what kind of clothes they wear. When I think about how beautiful someone is, I think about how they live their lives.

In my opinion, extremely beautiful people are the most caring and genuine people you will ever meet. They go out of their way to make others feel loved and included. They are compassionate and empathetic. They care so deeply that when you hurt, they share the pain and help to make it better. When you are excited, they share in your jubilation and celebrate with you.

Beautiful people are passionate. They care about something so deeply that it motivates them to get up and improve the world every single day. When they share their passion with others, you can see a fire burning inside of them. It is a spark that starts in the soul and explodes like fireworks in their eyes and their smile. Their passion makes magic happen and the world becomes a better place.

Beauty isn't a piece of clothing or a material to wear. It's how you wear your heart. It's seen in the way you share love with others. In my mind, the best part about beauty is that every single person has the capacity to be so astoundingly beautiful. There is no limit to beauty.

Think about the world, and how many different people live here. The capacity that we have for love and beauty is so massive that it gives me goosebumps. I dream that one day as humans we decide to set aside this collective delusion that beauty is physical and realize that beauty is actually a reflection of how life is lived. Envision this world with me. The sun is shining brighter, colors are more vivid, and there are smiles everywhere I look. Everything seems so much more radiant and alive because it is filled with so much love, kindness, and beauty.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
