Beauty Is Not Skin Deep


Dear You, What's your definition of beauty? Is it a flat stomach and a big booty? Does your outside appearance really define who you are? What happened to being smart? Yes, your body is a temple, but why are you freaking out over one little pimple? Why can't you love yourself flaws and all? One little imperfection and you're ready to bawl. If the outside is so important, Why does the hot guy date an average girl? Yes, looks are attractive, But why are you chasing after a barbie doll, a.k.a. plastic? Your attitude, your personality, and your demeanor Is what honestly makes your soul cleaner. What if makeup didn't exist? Would you be even more self-conscious? Or would you even dare taking that risk? Beauty is a secret. It's the hidden treasure inside a locket. That's really entertaining. Behind closed doors is how you really look, A cover of a book doesn't determine Whether the inside is interesting or not. It's more than the cover. Beauty is looking underneath unlike the others.
