Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Personally, I find beauty in everything that surrounds me. I find beauty in the subjects I study, in the people I love and in the daily "challenges" that come my way. Beauty isn´t just a pretty face or a good body it is more than skin-deep. A nice person, a smile, an act of kindness and unconditional love is beautiful. To describe beauty is like to describe love, it is ambiguous and intangible.
The downside of preconceptions of beauty are very dangerous because they harm vulnerable people. That is why mental illnesses like anorexia, bulimia and extreme low self-esteem harm and even kill some people. Nobody is to blame for this except society and everyday pressures. There are some preconceived notions put inside a child's head that are irreverseable and haunt them until adulthood. However, there are ways to increase low self-esteem and self-acceptance; friends, therapists and family are incredible resources.
Invest in your spirit and soul don't be afraid to express yourself and help other people. I am a firm believer in and "what goes around comes around" and personally I've had very good experiences with it and I recommend it to everybody.
Good Luck!
