society bends mirrors, distorts our reflections; we convince each other that beauty is external, that it is achieved with money and makeup and restricted meals. but one is not attractive simply because of their outer appearance, or their social status ... what makes one interesting lies beneath the surface of their skin, inside the heart of their being, it comes in the form of self-confidence, passion and love.
it is not caring about how others perceive you. it is being certain in uncertainty. finding comfort in both solitude and solidarity. honesty lining every word spoken, loved laced into your veins. it is not relying on others in order to survive, but making your own decisions and being unafraid of veering away from the main road.
we are stars balancing precariously on the words of others. we are matter of intrigue, every one of us; and yet, we forget to look deeper than the surface, we tend to look only with our eyes and not the heart. but when we truly see what each of us are made of, children of the universe, moonlight in our eyes – our subconscious will awake: the love, the passion for life that we share, will pull us together. you cannot live without any fuel with which to drive yourself forward ... let your passions ignite your soul and kindle a fire inside your heart. let the doubts go. plunge through your fears. trust your instincts and engulf yourself in love, and more love. fly, baby bird, fly into the arms of the night with your heart sated.
fall in love with yourself and nature and music and everything in between. feel the energy rushing into you, give in to your desires, your half-forgotten dreams: nourish your imagination, and you will find clarity in a world of chaos. you will be fuelled by the boundless love residing inside your ribcage, and you will be able to rediscover yourself.
listen to the timid whispers rising from the deepest corners of your mind, and you will become free. unchain your soul and release the light that has been eclipsed by a flock of negative thoughts for so long. this is what beauty is. this is what life is about: loving.
