you made me feel beautiful


Favorite Post Secret of the week

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” -Maryanne Williams


“The greatest treasures are those invisible to the eye but found by the heart.”


“It's beauty that captures your attention; personality which captures your heart.”


“You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her”


“People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.”- Salma Hayek


When you think of beauty what comes to mind? In a world full of Tyra Banks, Giseles, and Halle Berrys, its hard to think of anything else but superficial beauty. The way someone dresses or looks is what defines beauty to most of the population today. I can tell you many reasons why i don't agree. You will pass by the most beautiful girls and guys on the street without even knowing if beauty is is simply outward appearance. The most gorgeous of girls who gets all the guys might not be the most beautiful girl in the room. But I want to ask this question: How will you know how beautiful someone is without talking to them, listening to them, or laughing with them?

Beauty to me is of the heart. You don't have to necessarily agree with me, but this is my definition of beauty. Outward appearance will fade over time, but one thing that will always last is a beautiful heart.

Maybe it is a little optimistic of me to think in this way. But i do think that some people aren't beautiful inside. To me pretty isn't just looks, pretty isn't just clothes, pretty isn't just facial features or someone's body shape. Pretty to me doesn't have to be gorgeous. Pretty to me is skin deep. I don't like to judge people by their outward appearance because a lot of the people I've met who is "cute"/"gorgeous"/"hot"/"sexy" are cocky and think that the world revolves around them. on top of that, their definition of beauty is outward appearance alone.

So i want to challenge people to open up your eyes. Before you judge someone by their appearance. Question who they are as a person. You will be surprised with the results.

your goof


"I want to be the girl you pull into a photo booth and be a complete goof ball with."

So this is my favorite PostSecret of the week.

"In reality liking someone is the least productive thing in the world, it doesn't feed you nor does it bring money to you, sleeplessness causes loss of productivity, and acting silly all day and night may be mistaken for being a mental patient. you go through painful jealousness and broken hearts, and have 'do you still believe in love?' such stinging words thrown at you. yet i realize when you love somebody i know millions of reasons for doing it. 1st you realize giving brings more happiness than receiving, 2nd instead of bad you see good things first, 3rd you can be a child without a time machine"

Relationships consist of a lot of work. It involves a lot of patience, conversations, and sorries. But you have something good when you can truly say that the happy times outweigh the bad times. Some say that when you love someone it means you have to say sorry more... i think that its true, but if you love someone you would try your best to prevent from saying you're sorry. When you're in a relationship it is you + him. You each have to be you're own person. You cannot be 50% + 50%= 100% you need to be 100%+100%=200%. each of you need to have lives but still grow together.

when i find mine... i want to be in a relationship where i can be a retard, a dork, a loser and not hold myself back for it. i want to be able to mature with him. i want to be able to fight and work things out. i want a guy who can wake up to tangled hair and no makeup me. someone who i don't have to dress up for but want to dress up for. someone that i can call and count on. someone who i can sit down, talk, joke, laugh for hours with. someone who can give be constructive criticism. someone who can make a boring situation fun. someone who can be a best friend. someone who is a reflection of me and where i am in my life. someone who will be able to appreciate and respect me. I want to be able to make him see that he can be a better person. i want to bring the best in him. i want him to learn from our relationship. i want him to feel like he can tell me anything. i want him to be able to say "yeah thats my girl" in front of his friends. i want him to be able to be a retard, a dork, a loser without holding anything back. i want him to be comfortable enough to do spontaneous things with me. i want him to take chances and not be afraid of leaping into them. i want him to enjoy every moment we have together. i want him to be able to hangout with his boys. i want him to be him. i want him to do him. i want him to think that he is the world greatest guy. most of all i want to be his baby, his babe, his girl, his loser, his dork, his dummy, his goofball...
