You're right - they are painfully and unashamedly honest. <br /><br />If what you said is true and you aren't physically beautiful, your shining inner beauty must have tainted my view of you because I really think you are outwardly beautiful too! xMeaghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16300244578298282210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3735033980607896594.post-85317866094828593372013-05-06T11:01:04.401+10:002013-05-06T11:01:04.401+10:00Thanks again for your wisdom and truth - you reall...Thanks again for your wisdom and truth - you really make me think. I have often been on the receiving end of some young people's (and some not-so-young people's) painfully honest observations. I am thankful that for now the only adjective my niece knows is "pretty"!<br />By the way, you are beautiful, on the outside and to the core.harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05668670398414688888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3735033980607896594.post-86520765973344108892013-05-02T16:00:24.070+10:002013-05-02T16:00:24.070+10:00Fabulous thoughts here Danielle.

I am saddened...This was a wonderful post, Danielle. I am saddened to hear that you have thought of yourself to be less beautiful though. The "beauty" you seem to be describing might be better defined as "pretty". One of God's attributes is "beautiful", but I highly doubt it is restricted only to His appearance. Beautiful is defined by more than simply physical appearance. Beauty is a genuine smile. Joyful eyes. Sparkling humour. A generous spirit. Kindheartedness. Gentle touch. Warm affection. Confidence in the fact their Creator knows what He made, and that it is good. <br /><br />This is all true of you. And THAT is what makes you truly beautiful. Charm is deceptive ad beauty is fleeting. Any physical attraction a person may have will not last. But the person you are on the inside is eternal. You needn't mourn what you seemingly lack from the opinions of others. For what it's worth, I always admired and looked up to you during my young teenage years. :)<br /><br />Jasmine R.

I sometimes wish we could acknowledge each other's beauty or ugliness (or inbetween-ness) without putting a value judgement on those characteristics - let us all be comfortable with our us-ness.
