beauty from ashes

You’re beautiful.
I can tell you this everyday, but it means absolutely nothing if you don’t embrace the statement and eventually believe it.
Beauty is such a tricky concept because it has so many different aspects. There’s inner beauty, outer beauty, societal beauty, and so on. I honestly believe we all have all three, but one is usually more prevalent than the others. Most usually only focus on outer beauty, which is unfortunate at times.
I’ve found myself thinking about the meanings of life and I think I’ve come up with another: to make all aspects of your beauty shine through the darkness. The darkness of life. Let’s be completely real. We all have horrific days. Days that are filled with regrets, sorrow, lonliness, and sadness. We all have beautiful days. Day that are filled with joy, happiness, hope, and contentment. Some days we are monsters, and others we are peaceful elements of nature.
I wish you could see your beauty, mainly your inner beauty. I wish you would stop listening to what everyone says about you behind close doors. You are gorgeous, darling and in every way possible. Please believe it. ”
