Inner Beauty

Is it really what is on the inside that counts? Or is the outer beauty all that is important? I do not think outer beauty is that important, but the sad thing is that it is to the rest of the world; which is why people feel like they have to live up to the standard of "true beauty". It is a shame because I end up feeling like that sometimes and I really should not. People notice petty things that drive you crazy just because they noticed them in the first place. People start to feel like less than they are because others belittle them and their beauty. it gets to the point where you feel like there is no one that really appreciates the "real" you and the fact that you are not perfect and have flaws. It is the point where we realize that we are better than these petty notices and better than what it on the outside that we begin to blossom. That is the point where things change for the better. All we have to do is go with the punches and accept life for what it is; be thankful for what we have and what we are and stop being upset because of the things we are not and do not have.
