res....this is such a beautiful prompt idea
Beauty;
/ˈbyo͞odē/ (noun)
1. My mother’s smile framed by laugh lines and the way her eyes crinkle at the edges; we both look at the newly delivered anti-aging creams with contrasting opinions and I wonder every time how the world can deem her less attractive for bearing tales of her life upon her skin
2. My father’s calloused hands and narrowed eyes; outsiders see the roughness around his corners, see the hardened set of his jaw, stare and see only skin deep; i look up to him as he walks in the door with exhaustion etched into his entire body and though his smile is only a slight upturn of his lips it is there nonetheless
3. My best friend with curves and a scale number above what is deemed socially acceptable, like you can determine value through weight; all of their unique features overlooked by themselves and everyone around them simply because they are a different form of beautiful; standards can never contain them because what is on the inside radiates outwards stronger than thinness or makeup ever would
4. My body with bumps and scars and dips that has taken me too long to fall in love with, even if I never should have fallen out of self adoration in the first place, none of us should have; i looked at all the things that i thought to be wrong before i looked at my own special beauty, i hated myself for things inside and out; I may never fit into a mold, never will I be 6 feet tall or brimming with optimism and confidence; but i will be me, and that is enough
5. Society points fingers and sets bars so high they tower ten feet over our head, make it impossible to check every critical box; too much makeup - too little, too outgoing - too antisocial, too feminine - too masculine, too overweight - too underweight; like they have the ability to squish us into boxes for things we cannot change, for things that make us who we are, for things that are wonderfully, absolutely, stunningly B E A U T I F U L
6. The universe handcrafted and shaped us into creatures made of stardust and qualities that are ours, and ours alone
7. And I think that itself; is the definition of beauty
