It Gets Me Thinking

Hi guys, I have wanted to write a post like this for a while. I have wanted to write one after the tragedy that happened in Romania, I started it, but then I never posted it. Now, I wondered for a while if I will actually post it this time, but then I decided that I should. I am writing this post with everyone affected by any of these recent tragedies on my mind. And by that I mean everyone that died, everyone that survived, their families, friends, the medical staff that helped them and the list goes on and ends with me and you.

I most certainly believe that everyone can be beautiful, and it is up to you if you choose to be. And it has nothing to do with make up, plastic surgery, wealth or possesions. It has to do with how your soul is, how your soul sees the world. There are so many beautiful people I know that look nothing like the magazines, or people I know that are stunningly beautiful on the outside, but at the end of the day it is the inner beauty that matters. I read the other day that Zendaya, an 18th year old celebrity, had to deal with her parents being called “really ugly” on Twitter, just because some people were surprised that they were not magazine-perfect polished people, and instead they just looked..happy. Seriously, that’s what I saw when I saw the picture – happy, proud people. However, Zendaya, showing her inner beauty, had a beautiful response to the criticism: “First, I’m gonna pray for you. While you’re so concerned about what my parents look like, please know that these are two of the most selfless people in the world. They have chosen to spend their entire life [sic], not worried about trivial things such as...
