On being beautiful? Beauty is an ever evolving, dynamic concept. It is viewed from the lens of each individuals perspective.
On first thought, the external appearance will be what many people think of.
There is no one definition of beauty.
Girls of all kinds can be beautiful – from the thin, plus-sized, short, very tall, ebony to porcelain-skinned; the quirky, clumsy, shy, outgoing and all in between. It’s not easy though because many people still put beauty into a confining, narrow box…Think outside of the box…Pledge that you will look in the mirror and find the unique beauty in you.
