beauty lies within all.

beautiful. how do you define beautiful? is it looks, intelligence, personality, warm-heartedness? for me, it is a combination of everything. for a girl, being called 'beautiful' is a feeling unlike any other. I try to say it to my friends as often as I can because the feeling you get is unbelievable. For me, 'beautiful' is a word above all others. When it comes from best friends it feels great, but when it comes from someone you are in love with - it is a completely different feeling. I have never experienced that. I have never been in love. I cannot wait for that moment. I think it should be something that is said when you truly feel that it is true. It kills me when I hear girls say "I'm not pretty enough" or "I am not beautiful" just because some guy didn't tell them that they were. The girls I hear who say things like this are amazing, beautiful women who have no idea how great they are. beauty is present in every single person on the face of this earth. yes, you might have to look around to find it, but trust me - it is there. One of my new year's resolutions was to see the beauty in every single person I know and those who I have yet to meet. It really helps you think positively about people and the world as a whole.

One of my friends was the host of WUVT tonight, and my roommate and I decided to call in to him and request a song. He is one of the sweetest guys I have ever met and is one of my great friends and was thrilled when my roommate and I called him tonight. He put our request on, which was Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show, which is one of his personal favorites, and dedicated it to us. When he said the name of the song, he said that he wanted to dedicate it to "two beautiful ladies Kelsey and Yen." Little things like that just make you feel so good. When someone is so kind to you and sees the beauty within you, you cannot help look at the beauty that is found within them. It is a great feeling - I cannot stop smiling when I feel that way. Understanding that every person has a special beauty inside them is something that everyone needs to see. Sure, all of this might sound corny, but think about your close friends. Why are they your close friends? What is it about them that draws you to them? Is it their personality, their caring heart, the way they just understand you? Whatever it is, that is what makes them beautiful to you.

Beauty exists within every single person on this earth. If you look, you will find it. Take my advice - if you think someone is beautiful, let them know. It will be a feeling they never forget.
