I've been meaning to write this entry for about a week, so excuse the mess...
About a week ago, I was in my favorite class, Careers in LIFE, and we were discussing a project we were going to start soon. We have to make a beautiful space using an abstract idea that we think of using only stuff that comes off trees, and stuff that comes out of the ground. This is unimportant to this entry, so ignore it. My teacher told the class to define three words out of the dictionary, then define it for ourselves. He said to define space, abstract, and then beauty. For the next fifteen minutes after that, we discussed beauty. He threw out my belief that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. H said that that was crap. He told us to ignore that. This is the same man who said not to judge people according to a standard, and he's telling us to come up with a standard. Turkish people, what can you do? He said this though, he said that beauty was the entire package. Not just the T & A, but everything else too. He said that someone can cute, sexy, and anything else we can think of, but not beautiful. Someone is not beautiful until you know them, until you know their soul. He said beauty was the look (not his word), the brain, the heart, and the soul. It's everything.
Now, I wrote that to write this. I know a girl that is very dear and special to me. She is my everything. She is everything I want and more. You probably know her America, her name is Elizabeth. She's my girl. She is beautiful, very beautiful. Even if you don't her, you can tell by the way I write, the way I talk, the way I look at her that she is beautiful. She's been stressed these past couple of days, and I feel bad that I'm not there for her. She knows why I'm not there, and she has accepted it. I'm in college. Elizabeth is beautiful. Elizabeth, you are beautiful. Let no one take that away. Just know that I'm not just dating you because you are sexy and foxy (although, those are perks). I'm dating you because you are beautiful to me. I love you Elizabeth. I always will.
America, let me tell you what my definition of beauty is before I leave for better things. Beauty to me is Elizabeth. It's everything she signifies, it's everything she is. She is my Mona Lisa, my Brad Pitt, my everything. Elizabeth is beauty. Well America, I'm gone...
