More Than Skin Deep

I have come to believe that real beauty has nothing to do with the images that flow through our unsuspecting eyes. Beauty isn't tactile or visible: it is a feeling. It walks hand in hand with love and acceptance. It doesn't care about smudged make-up, blemishes, disheveled hair, extra weight, thunder thighs, crooked teeth, or pale skin. True beauty can't be contained in a painting, a photo, or one person. It is illusive. It is flowing. It is defies any preconceived notion. It is, in itself, beautiful.
