All of you who know me know that i would never ever ever describe myself as beautiful, or even pretty. i'd say... "ok".. just not ugly. so how did i come upon this new theory of the secret to beauty? easy.. i looked at old photos of myself and realized that in those photos i was BEAUTIFUL. how could that be? that's not even possible! i look at recent photos and i still feel disgusted.. but some of the older ones are just.. WOW...
It's true.. i did not even recognize myself in my own pictures.. said it couldn't possibly be me. so here comes my theory.
Theory of the Secret to Beauty
Simply put... be happy and you'll be beautiful. this theory applies to girls and guys. i know it might not be as obvious with guys (frankly i don't even know if you guys would be comfortable with the word beautiful).. but it still applies.
You can't trick a pretty face. superficially, fine.. whatever... but no amount of hair gel, or certain haircut, or make up can compete with the beauty that comes out of true happiness. Please dont' misunderstand me, i'm not saying that you can't even look attractive unless you're happy. i'm just saying, that those people you see their pictures, or see them at a party or in a restaurant.. the ones that for some reason are GLOWING, are getting your attention.. those people are happy in the inside.
you might not even be able to tell about yourself if you look good or not, but looking on past photos might help give you a hint. look at times where you were really happy... not "denial" happy (for the people who were drunk in photos).. i'm talking soberly happy in that point in their lives. i bet you the pictures look great. i bet the smile shines and you look fabulous.
why? simple.
why do people some day look good and some days not? i've had mood swings were i'd dress like a diva and look good, and others where i look like a hobo. it's all about the mood i'm in.
I know people think that when they look at pictures of themselves "younger" they're bound to be better looking... but isn't it possible that the reason they looked better when they were younger is cause they had less problems and stress in their lives?
and to prove the make up is not the answer, i once wore NO makeup.. and yet almost everyone who met me smiled and complimented that i looked pretty that day. because THAT day, i was happy. a smile goes a long way guys.. and faking one doesn't count. i already talked about transperancy, and almost everyone can't fake a geniune smile... eyes don't lie. maybe appearing "beautiful" is not a concern of yours.. but just incase... find out what's making you unhappy in your lives.. and fix
it. you can't lie to your body.
stress and unhappiness makes your hair fall out, gives you pimples, rashes... so many things your body does to let you know "helloo!!!! something's wrong!! fix it!" so why is it a suprise to know that when you're actually happy, your body is healthy too?
if you're looking in the mirror right now, and you don't like what you see... if your face looks dead and your smile just isnt' real... fix it guys.
you're the only ones who can.. and THAT'S my theory to the secret of beauty :D
