Beauty is an exceptionally intricate thing. You can find it anywhere, and it can come in all sorts of things. People have the ability to find beauty in the strangest places, but when they do, it can be the most amazing, luminous thing they have ever seen. Beauty in a person though, is an entirely different thing, because each individual person has their own separate opinion and different tastes, and therefore see beauty in all sorts of different people. Added on to the fact that beauty can span different types, and you have a conundrum on your hands. What makes something, or someone, for that matter, beautiful? Again, it can be anything, but what about this: something so profound that it makes you stand there and stare and it even sort of strikes a blow into your mind and leaves an imprint of itself there, where you can conjure its image back anytime you want and stare at it again and again, because it was such a strong experience for you, that it changes your whole being and redefines your definition of 'ooo, that's pretty'. something that just makes you stop, flinch, widen your eyes, and then leaves you speechless except for that single 'wow' as you look on in awe. that's what i have for material beauty, and it can explain anything and everything material, from cats to bees to buildings to logs and all the way to people. Then we have the other beautiful, where again, you see something, but it's this tiny spark in a sea of black that slowly coalesces into a solid form, that makes you smile and warms your insides with joy because you've been able to find beauty within something. it could be anything, but more often than not is a person. and then it makes you smile even more because you realize your own self-worth for knowing that this particular form of beauty is inherent in everyone you meet. ok, that's it....i've purged my thoughts, i'm goin to bed. Nite!
