What I think is Beautiful...
May 22nd 2007 03:24
(from a high school memo to myself)
- Finding beauty & inspiration (i.e. the act of finding something beautiful is beautiful)
- Ppl & their smiles (confidence, self-esteem)
- Language, music, art, poetry
- Everything (is potentially beautiful)
- It's beautiful when ppl believe they are beautiful (We're often made to feel anything but beautiful, attractive, so every person that fights against this trend makes a palpable difference to the world around them)
- Unselfishness & kindness is beautiful; accepting yourself and others
- Being open to looking at other ways of thinking & appreciating differences is beautiful
- Beauty can be found everywhere - how much we want to see is up to us
- Being positive is beautiful; looking for positive qualities instead of negative ones
- Being yourself, free of affectation
- Individuality

Thank you so much for your message. It's always a shame when people don't maximise their potential and achieve their utmost heart's desires by choosing to lower their standards. It sounds like you're not one of those people either and so I'm very grateful that you stopped by and left a note behind.

You may take this the wrong way... however it`s not intended to be anything bad.
As I was reading your post I had this feeling that you are a very misunderstood person.... kinda searching for the place where you belong?
You have such beautiful thoughts and I really do hope you have found your place where you can express that wholly.

I'm not offended but I wonder how you got that impression? lol
I often feel like I don't have a lot of people I can talk to but I put that down to being in Australia when I really want to be in America, and being 'ahead of my time'...
I do have good friends with whom I can share some of my innermost thoughts, but of course no friendship is perfect.
Perhaps I am misunderstood in the sense that most people aren't as into postmodern theory as I am and my attempts to help them is not always welcome. I hope I do feel more 'at home' in the future; I have a feeling that time isn't too far away.
Love,
Epiphanie

Like I said I really don`t mean to offend you because that is not my intention at all... I`m just the type of person that says it like it is and often that come out in totally the wrong way.
It was just a feeling I got as I was reading this post of yours. Sometimes I read things that people have written and get a visual of them writing it as I am reading. It`s probably just my imagination playing tricks with me.... but like I say I cannot help but tell it like it is.
As I said you have a very unique and beautiful way of looking at the world... very delicate.... and I love that. I suppose in this world of violence and immorality you are a breath of fresh air and perhaps it was that which I was picking up on.
I really do hope you find your niche. It is not a nice place to be as a constant 'traveller'

Secondly, thinking that you are beautiful can often knock on the door of arogance. Rather, I would say that those who learn to appreciate there individual beauties are beautiful.
Still, I like the romantic and positive reflexions you have given to the word 'beautiful'
