Beauty

I've never been the type that fishes for compliments or even likes dressing up. To me, beauty is internal and is reflected from inside out. Yet, with so many pressures in the world it seems that if people don't have the right body, make up, hair or clothes then they aren't beautiful. 

I felt trapped in that deceptive frame last week because I haven't been exercising and I lost my muscle so my clothes wasn't fitting me the same. I tried to brush it off, but it did get to me. Why is it that I was placing so much value on the way my pants fit? Nothing I told myself helped me. I felt vapid and beat myself up for even being one of these kind of people. I think we all go through it though. True beauty can't be about all the clothes, body figures and make up, but it's not just about the nice personality. To life there should be balance. I haven't quite found that equilibrium for a lot of the things in my life, but beauty wasn't going to be one of those things I struggled with. I know who I am. I just needed a reminder. My sister Jazmin Rubio helped me remember who I wanted to be beautiful to in this song. I love her. She inspires me!
