The Most Beautiful Thing About You.
There are many beautiful things in this life: A solar eclipse, the birth of a child and sunrises. It so happens that humans can be physically beautiful, too, famously like Audrey Hepburn and Cleopatra. But I wonder, does external beauty amount to these other beautiful notions? I recently watched a film that melted me with its exceptional depiction of how beautiful humans' ability to love others is. The consistent depiction of this, made it crusytal clear to me that to somebody who truly loves you, the most beautiful about you will never be your appearance.
Patience. I believe that patience is one of the few things in life that becomes more beautiful when we want it and not when we need it. Even when I don't need somebody's patience, when they choose to give it to me out of desire, compassion and gentleness, I feel protected within the realms of their love and kindness. There have been instances when a person close to me has been furious with me over something but throughout the time they've been cross, they've decided to stop being mad at me. This has been because, in certain moments, they felt that showing they were proud of me, encouraging me or sharing their awe of me rose above their hurt, frustration or anger.
The fight became pushed to the back burner as the light shone through.
Beautiful is the strength one finds to rise above times of test, prioritising our love for another.
Beautiful are the moments in which your love for somebody is so deep that their physical beauty is nothing compared to the love you have for them. It's not just that the most beautiful thing about them is their existence, but the actuality that their appearance is completely irrelevant. To me, the people who I love more than life itself could be any gender, any weight, and any proportion and I would love them just as entirely, just as undoubtedly, just as purely and just as fiercely. The most beautiful thing about you is when you eloquently profess my value in your life. The most beautiful thing about you is your choice to stick by my side when I've pushed you away. The most beautiful thing about you is when you smile at me when I know that you're dying inside.The most beautiful thing about you is everything and anything beyond something superficial.
The most beautiful thing about you is everything and anything beyond something superficial.
Beautiful is wanting to save the people we love, even at our own cost. It's experiencing the most treacherous storm and deciding to stay if it means your loved one doesn't have to remain. When we sacrifice our personal sanity, well-being or dreams because a person is the most important aspect of our life, we learn the true meaning of agape love, a love that transcends all of time and space. Unfortunately, the unpredictability of life means that we can't save anyone from anything. But as humans, the existence of agape love means that despite knowing that, there's nothing we won't do to try. This nature extends far beyond a moment, a body type, a facial feature or a whirlwind romance. This concept dwells in a space of hope, where we hope that even if we can't save someone, we get closer to saving them than if we never try at all. Perhaps it is this hope that is the most beautiful thing of all.
Nobody can love anyone in the way that you do. Your love is unique. It is all yours. Forever and always. And with that unique love comes a unique beauty, however, true love is one that will never place a priority on superficiality.
