Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder . Many use it but not a lot would comprehend its true means .
People, in general, are attracted to beauty , it’s a part of our gene we can’t help it . Even if you are not our type , We will still  catch someone a half a mile staring at us in a distance . For most women and men that is what they want , what they settle for.
I remember back when I was in high school . I was making my normal rounds to the school’s tuck shop . Coming down the  staircase I saw these senior guys , my year .
Now I am not the school boyfriend type never have been . As young girls in that prime time , we tend to mature much faster than the guys and left high school boys for the sophomores .. Who are more into the fascination of boys and willing to explore .

On with the story,   the student stopped me  and I thought he was approachable so I went to him . He held on to my hands and smiled then  said to me  “you know you are beautiful but you are just hard to look at.” I just stood there in shock because what am I suppose to say to that . How am I suppose to react ? I felt my organs clinch inside of me , my eyes filled with water . Holding back like , so you mean to tell me I’m only good looking because you took a long hard stare at me ? In my mind .
Instead of retaliation out of anger . I just smiled and said  “thank you .. ” sarcastically .
He then had the nerve to say your welcome . Like he had done me a favor .
Now I look back on that day and smile . Reason being , if I had been an empty shoe case , I could never be where I want to be , or doing what I want to do . Beauty doesn’t come with only the flesh  , it comes with what’s inside you . What you bring to the plate , will make so much different from the barbies across the world . What’s in your mind that counts . I  encourage girls to get an education,  make it mandatory . So when men or anyone else talk to you they will have to take a step back in awe . Because you are not just a face, you are a woman virtue  and stability , a firm mind . Never will they  have the audacity to be rude and look down on you , like you have no right  to talk or walk with your heads held high . Step up , make a stand , be extraordinary ! Be a visionary , a leader . You think because you walk with modesty they won’t try to bury you . Flash your hips with pride and say I am all that I am and more . Toss your fishing line with the fattest worm and you shall reap the benefits of the biggest fish .
