Only by devoting oneself to darkness, absorbing its deep waters drop by drop, can one give rise to a noble, lasting work of art. / Pleasant is the air, and pleasant the light, but not everything can flower, and he who fails to surrender his soul to darkness will wither.
Dulce María Loynaz, tr. by James O’Connor, from Absolute Solitude: Selected Poems
“You must be the person you have never had the courage to be. Gradually, you will discover that you are that person, but until you can see this clearly, you must pretend and invent.”
— Paul Coelho
“People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

What in the hell is beauty? They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Anybody can be a beholder, hell everyone is a beholder. Eveyone will have a different definition of beauty, so why does it matter so much? How is it that something with so much variety be the base of so much self-worth and so many societies. Surely i qm not the only one who sees it. Surely others understand there will always be another critique. Beauty matters, but only because we have made it matter so much, only because we have shaped jt and valued so much off of it.
They say beauty is pain; i say beauty is born from pain.
Behold your own beauty, and do what you want, not what you are told to be, not what societies standards are, but what makes you feel like you. Don't give beauty power, take away that power, make it yours. Do believe others have the right to behold your own beauty, they have done it far too long.
Take the power of beauty, become the sole beholder of your beauty, and you will find beauty has no real power except the people who use it.
