“You’re
stunning.” He said, as though he was stating a fact.
“STUPEFY!”
She screamed, as though holding out an imaginary wand. “Now I’m stunning you.”
She added with a wink.
He
rolled his eyes as they proceeded to the candy floss and popcorn vendor.
People react to compliments in tons of
ways. Admittedly, there’s a big section of people who strive for them, but a percentage
of people aren’t comfortable accepting or rejecting them. Rejecting them is
downright rude and acceptance may make them seem conceited. So they find ways
to deflect the compliment instead, just like this girl did.
Another reason for deflecting compliments
is not believing in them yourself.
Anne Hathaway. Deepika Padukone. Robert
Pattinson. Emma Watson. David Beckhem.
Don’t think about all these celebrities
when someone says you’re looking great. Grace compliments with a smile and a
thank you. Don’t give one in return. Don’t make it a formality. Give one back
when you truly mean it, because that’s when it’ll make an impact, or give one
if you were going to pay them one anyway.
I don’t blame the people who think they
aren’t worthy enough. The people like those mentioned above make it hard for people to
accept they’re beautiful on the outside. But the irony when it comes to beauty
is that it’s ugly.
We all aren’t lucky enough to wake up
looking like a goddess. We don’t have our face in proportion with the golden
ratio. Getting the perfect body is just a dream.
But forget about math. Forget about the
golden ratio that decides how beautiful you look like. Stop not believing in
yourself. You really are beautiful. Because beauty isn’t only about physical
appearance. It’s about confidence and charm. It’s about witty replies and in
the way you walk, along with the style you talk. Your kindness makes you
pretty. Your loyalty and honesty makes you stand out. Your want to do good for
others makes you striking. There is beauty in happiness and strength. There’s this
thing about determination and intelligence that attracts people.
And that’s where beauty becomes a bit ugly
and unfair. It resides inside some
people, and serves as a coat for others. Only a few people get their share of
both. And those who don’t have the coat are instantly put down by a large part
of society because people don’t know how to look at the world.
You remember how Disney movies make the
princess look so pretty and the witch look like the most disgusting person
ever? That’s because they’re making the people good at heart beautiful. And
that’s how we must start looking at people.
Make life a Disney movie. Start looking at
people for what they are on the inside. And turn yourself into the prince or
the princess if you aren’t one already!
Thanks for reading!
YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL.
