To Be Beautiful
All I Want to be is to be beautiful.
Not pretty, or hot, or jaw-dropping,
Just beautiful.
I want kids to come to me with a smile and share a story
Or in tears because they believe I could comfort them.
I want my neighbors cat that hates everyone to eat from my hands.
I want grandmas to tell me about their overachieving grandsons they would like me to meet.
I want my friends to smile when I’m around.
I want my person to look at me like I hung every constellation in the sky.
And maybe this beauty has nothing to do with the size of my waist or how my arms look in a sleeveless dress.
But everything to do with the colors I have painted on my heart. Colors I chose as a reaction to every action.
Maybe if I choose to stay happy, paint bright colors over the dark ones I painted before even when the world is grey. Then maybe I could be that beautiful.
Until then I’ll just be.
I'm reaading this while playing an emotional song in the background and it set off the right emotions😭(btw it wasn't planned)
Congrats, you've officially stolen my next journal entry🤣😭
This is amazinggggg‼️‼️
wow, i caught myself smiling from ear to ear as i read on. these are such wonderful experiences that really make life worth it. beauty should have nothing to do with societal standards, but how we allow the true essence of our being to shine through despite them
