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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
