About Feeling Beautiful

I am lucky enough to have learned that beauty may not always comes as a package of fair skin, long non-frizzy locks, button nose, supermodel cheekbones and perfect eyebrows and lashes that's roofing a pair of bright blue eyes. All  that, carried in a  perfect size 2 (note: I do not have any of those, and yes, size 10 is now considered fat by this cruel society)

My imperfect understanding believes that  beauty is a form of stitches of flaws and imperfections. This includes the mind and the soul, that reflects crystal clear in your approach in life.

There are not many out there that actually seeing the word like that, I must say. 

And these days... I feel... beautiful (and I am not backspacing here).

I just feel beautiful because of the energy of the people around me, which I hope is the result of mirroring mine. I feel beautiful because my friends and families are treating me with respect and kindness, and they never notice if I have put on mascara and lipstick or not. 
I feel beautiful when I laugh so hard it makes me cry.

When my ears recognize beautiful chords and beautiful lyrics in songs. When I read, I feel beautiful too.

I feel beautiful when I hit the asphalt every morning at 5:45 am and when my dogs lick my face when I return home to play with them before preparing myself to go to work (they also care not about my sweats).

I feel beautiful when I cry and just be honest to myself about my feelings. 

When I pray... I feel  fragile and strong when I pray. But yes, beautiful.

And during that five minutes of time frame before I snooze my way to sleep, I am counting my blessings... I feel like I'm beautiful.

Maybe because I have mentioned you there too. As one of my beautiful blessings.

Tinted Beauty

Have you read about this before? This is leaving me with a mixed feeling...

Why Chin Women had Tattoos on their Face: 

The Chin were adored for their beauty and King’s would come to villages to steal men’s wives. As a measure against their women being stolen, village elders started tattooing teenage girls to make them ‘ugly’. 
The tradition stuck and over generations eventually lost its original meaning of ugliness and came to represent courage, beauty and strength.

A brilliant campaign with a noble mission to make this ( excuse my french) tormented society starts to talk about real beauty. Wouldn't you love this boy?

Thank you for sharing, Like a Vagabond !

Beauty is in the?

Anonymous : Are you really from Sumatra Utara (Batak ) ?

Proud Batak: Yes, I am.

Anonymous : How come you look so pretty? I think you are the prettiest Batak woman I have ever seen!

Proud Batak: (Cringed. Leaving)

Now if you can read this; I do not have that Caucasian nose, lush lashes nor a radiant skin. I am not 6 feet tall, not rocking a killer Ukrainian girl body and not flashing a branded items from top to toe. And oh dear, how I don't always have time to make my frizzy hair looks sleek.

But, I am a very happy person inside. That is - I can assure you- exactly what you are seeing. And I thank My God for that.

Oh, and also, I know you didn't mean to be rude but If you think that I am the prettiest Batak girl you've ever seen, I gotta tell you- you have not seen anything just yet.
