Times Have Changed

I was reading through a not-so-old-yet notebook that i brought with me to my Euro-trek this summer and found this.. "We are all liars. It's so much easier to type than it is to say. So none of us say what we mean anymore." How true is that? If you want to say something hard, you'll text the person, or email, or call them. Face to face is just hard these days. Everything is impersonal. Only type what you would say is what I stick to. If I can say it, I can surely type it.

My friend, Anna Banana (no way that too childish!) was talking about the meaning of beautiful. What is beautiful? Something pleasing to the eye? No. Music is beautiful. Words are beautiful. Meanings are beautiful. So is beautiful a standard? Or is it something that exsists only in our own minds? I see things differently than other people may, so in my eyes, a gross old house may be gross to others but very beautiful to me. Yet... that doesn't help in wanting to know what beautiful is. If you know, let me know. I wonder about this.

  1. I'm not sure this is quite the right defenition you were hoping for but never the less:

    Urban dictionary's definition of beautiful, I found so inspiring I just had to blog about it.
    "Beautiful is a woman who has a distinctive personality, one who can laugh at anything, including themselves, who is especially kind and caring to others. She is a woman who above all else knows the value of having fun, and not taking life too seriously. She is a woman that you can trust and count on to brighten your day. She is a woman who can inexplicably make you feel really good just by being around her, and yet brings such great sadness when she is gone......"

    The blog I found this on is: http://skippy-treesareforhugging.blogspot.com/2009/07/something-pretty.html

    So technically she told you the defenition...
