The word beauty itself brings certain pictures to your eyes. You think of 'slaying girls with high heels on' or 'a cute girl with specs, which so perfectly suits her face' or 'a moderately chubby girl with a nice hairdo.' In the case of boys, being handsome is all about the trendy low hip jeans with nice shades and not to forget, the cool hairstyle. If this is what beautiful is, then, are old people ugly? So as you age, you give up on being beautiful?

We live in a world where beauty lies in eyes

Where did we get this notion?
How pathetic it is to judge someone's beauty based on their appearances?
We come across people who boast about their zero size body. We see models flaunting their so-called "flawless body".

Is that what "pretty" looks like?
So if you are capable of having a flat tummy and crystal clear skin, you are the prettiest person. Right?

Don't hesitate to accept it's right because society still abides by it!

Do you know what is pretty? An effort is pretty.

Helping a person in crisis is beautiful. Not judging people is beautiful. Staying down to earth is beautiful. Being strong is beautiful. Good deeds that go unnoticed are beautiful. Being a positive impact on someone's life is beautiful. Self-care is pretty. Being consistent in your work is pretty. Being open to criticism is beautiful.

Accepting and rectifying mistakes is a beauty. Not procrastinating is beautiful. Reaching goals at our own pace is pretty. Self-realisation is pretty. When you can calm down the chaos in your head, you are pretty because of your ability to soothe yourself and present the best version of you to others. Getting rid of negativities instead of blackheads makes you pretty.

Metaphors fall short to explain this beauty

Cheering a person to boost their confidence is beautiful. Standing with people through their thick and thin is beautiful. Keeping a promise is beautiful. Being happy over other's victory is pretty. Having a soft corner for people is beautiful. Not misusing others is beautiful.

Being loyal and kind never goes out of trend. That's the best outfit to compliment any of us. Having a pure heart and a pure mind is charismatic. Yeah! You heard it right.

Be the kind of cute that the kind souls feel.

Kindness, for sure makes you the prettiest person ever. Pulling out the radiant smile and capturing people is pretty. Bringing positive vibes to others is pretty. Everyone will remember you by that. May your inner beauty shine so brightly.
