Beauty. What is beauty? Beauty is what pleases my eyes. I love beauty! Beauty is also what pleases my mouth, my nose, my hands, my ears. Beauty is what I love to be around, what I love to touch or what I love to eat. It is what I look for in everything I get in touch with. I am a very visual person, but when I refer to something as beautiful, I mean that I find it appealing in some kind of way, could be any kind of way you can imagine really. In that sense, everything has the potential to be beautiful. Isn't that great?
Beauty is what I strive for. I keep and keep on looking for beauty in each and every thing, that is how I strive for perfection. It is a blessing because I will have these short happy moments every time I recognize beauty in these tiny details. But as it is with most blessings, it is a curse too, because I can't stop searching. There won't be a time when I've filled my mind with memories of beautiful things. But in life, a journey should be your destination right? To be honest, I don't fully believe that, as I look for a permanent state of beauty. Maybe the journey to that state is my destination?
Well, as I mentioned, everything can be beautiful, why isn't it? This also means that I will get upset very easily if something could be more beautiful. On the other hand, when I see something beautiful, I may get overly excited and happy about it. I just adore those moments when I recognize true beauty in front of me. I tend to describe these moments extensively with decorating words. But that's ok, beauty keeps me alive. It keeps me wanting to create beautiful things (most of the time that will be food). So when I say "amazing", "stunning", "gorgeous", "lovely" or "great", what I really mean is "beautiful". Beauty is greatness, wrapped in a way that touches our senses.

Beauty makes me smile, but - more importantly - it makes me sad.
