Thoughts and Random Things

Pretty People

This one falls more under the "Thoughts" category of "Thoughts and Random Things". Just some near-midnight blabber for you to look through.

Tbh, people are so pretty. Like, there are some people in my life who are just really pretty, or they just have really pretty features. And these people are the kinds of people who don't really stand out to me normally, people who I've gotten so used to seeing that I've just forgotten to appreciate how beautiful they are. And then, of course, there are the people who I don't talk to much, and I'll be having a little chat with them and suddenly I'll realize that that person is really pretty, or has a really pretty feature about them, and I'll wonder why haven't I ever noticed that before? Why do I just learn to brush off these really stunning people and even things as just ordinary, nothing to think twice about? Case in point, the other day I was talking to this sophomore outside of my Italian classroom. This soph girl was someone I saw pretty often, as we had several mutual friends and were in the same marching band (she plays drums), but despite all that, her and I never talked much. So, now that I was talking to this girl, mid-sentence I just kind of realize how gorgeous her eyes are. They're green. Not super-bright, super-noticeable, pop-out-at-you-from-a-million-miles-away green, but green nonetheless--more of a laid-back, sophisticated, mature green that makes you feel like you could sit down in a suede chair and share a coffee/tea and really talk with this girl. And my next thought immediately after I noticed her eyes was, wow, how come I've never noticed this girl's eyes before?

And then you have those fortunate, all-around attractive bastards who, instead of having one extremely insanely drop-dead perfect feature and being average in all other areas, are just sort of mildly pretty everywhere. But all that mild prettiness adds up and that person is, like, hella attractive from head to toe. Like jeez. Holy heck. I won't use a specific example person or situation here, but you get the idea.

The point is, ultimately, that people are just really goddamn pretty, okay? Whether it's just one or two things that make them pretty or its the whole package, there are just so many lovely things about people that make them shine. It's quite delightful. People, sometimes, are just warm and nice to look at. I should tell that sophomore she has pretty eyes.
