Maybe Shakespeare Had a Point

It was Shakespeare that once said, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Until a few years ago I had interpreted that wrong. By "beholder" I always thought he had meant, "the person that beholds you" decides whether your beautiful or not.But I wasn't even close.

When I look in the mirror I don't see beauty. I see long dark brown curls, dull brown eyes and freckles. I dont see what other people see. No one does. When I walk in the streets, I always keep a straight face, a face that says, "Just don't talk to me and we will be alright." Im a shy girl, maybe because I don't like my apperance.

I always judge beauty on the faces on tv, and the models and what not. But I shouldn't be. Just as Shakespeare said, beauty is only in your eyes. You decide whether you're beautiful. And you shouldn't let others tell you any different.

It was a wise friend that once told me, "If you feel beautiful, you will be beautiful to everyone around you." If you have courage and faith in the way you look, then other people will sense those feelings. You must first believe you're beautiful for others to believe so. Have a nice day!
