The Measure Of Ones Beauty

My thoughts on beauty, as originally expressed to my love (@lauraramargosian) over a year ago…

Laura, let me explain something. Beauty is essentially based on the measure of admiration a person holds toward someone or something, whether that admiration comes from a sense of pleasantry related to, or respect held toward the subject in question. This being the case, beauty is highly subjective in nature. In the case of me and you, I truly think you are very beautiful. It comes down to where you look for the measure of your own beauty. Are you looking to what you think the world agrees is beautiful, whether accurate or not? Even if this is the case, it’s very hard to get a true, all-inclusive consensus. For example, America and India would have quite a bit of difference in their general standard of beauty. History and culture have largely shaped their respective views. If you’re looking to Hollywood, it’s measures are corporately controlled, corrupt, and sometimes near-impossible anyway. Are you looking at some past precedent of whether you are beautiful, based on the inherently negative opinions of those that hate you or are biased against you? If so, those will never be accurate or good and will always lead to disappointment. Are you looking to measure your beauty from those that love and care about you the most? Isn’t this the most important, if not perhaps the only important measure of your real beauty? Those that really care about you will stand by your side. They are the ones that will surround you and support you throughout your life. So this is, in all reality, the general measure by which I believe you should gauge your beauty. I would include God among this list, and He sees immense beauty in each and every one of His children. If you are gauging your beauty by multiple of the listed perspectives, please don’t let your weighting be out of balance. Those who are closest matter most, and should perhaps be the only factor in your personal view of your own beauty. I love and care about you very much and I think you are an extremely beautiful girl (certainly in your looks, but also including other things about you). I think your family and close friends would completely agree with me. So, please, realize how truly beautiful you really are. Beautiful, pretty, gorgeous, cute, and all the related adjectives are quite certainly applicable and descriptive of you.

[Poem] My Love

My love for you is deep and true,
I will never give up on you.

You are my life, my world, my all,
and if you slip I’ll break your fall.

I’ll go to every length for you,
to show my heart, that it is true.

Your past is filled with pain and tears,
but I will fight to quiet your fears.

No fool will break your heart again,
for I will guard again and again.

Always know this fact is true,
I do love you, through and through.

From now until forever ends,
our love will conquer twists and bends.

What we have built will never fall,
but will forever grow so tall.
