“when you start to know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear. you begin to dwell in their energy, recognize the scent of their skin. you see only the essence of the person, not the shell. that’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. you can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. you can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. and that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.”
--lisa unger, beautiful lies
i used to hate life.
i ate my feelings.
i cried myself to sleep nearly every night.
i plastered a fake smile on my face every morning.
and i prayed that i'd find someone who could see through my happy facade.
today, i have not one, but two beautiful people in my life that make every day worth it.
they're not perfect.
they make me mad.
they annoy the crap out of me.
they don't always understand.
but they're always there for me.
and that's what matters.
these two people have put meaning behind that old clichéd phrase, "beauty comes from within."
when you spend as much time with your friends as i do, their appearance doesn't even matter anymore.
my friends are beautiful.
every single one of them.
and i love them
with every fiber of my being. (:
