hello beauty.

i read a sad statistic today. 

based off a study spread across 10 countries, surveying 3,200 women between the ages of 18-64, only 2% consider themselves beautiful. wow. 2%. it's really saddening to see what society has classified beauty as.

the definition of beauty according to the merriam-webster dictionary is: the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit. the definition itself refers to beauty within, not necessarily someones physical appearance. how sad that society has made an unwritten definition of what beauty is. and the majority of us go along with it.

so next time you're quick to judge how beautiful a person is, remember to think first. because only 2% of us believe that we're beautiful. the world doesn't need more critics.
