WHAT IS BEAUTIFUL?




I know this really pretty woman, and just the other day, I was teasing her about how gorgeous she was and begging her to "cut some of that cuteness" for me. Her response got me thinking. She said, and I quote, "People often say I have a pretty face, but my heart is more beautiful than my face."

To have such a pretty face and an even prettier heart—it got me pondering deeply. What really is beautiful? Surely, there must be more to beauty than facial appearance!

Have you noticed how things like how a person treats you, how they respond, and how they act in general, contribute to how attractive they seem? Even how they carry themselves matters. I've often thought that really confident people seem so much prettier than they actually look physically.

For instance, no matter how beautiful a really dirty person is, you probably wouldn’t be able to stand them.

I remember reading somewhere that how we treat people is what makes us truly beautiful. I didn’t quite understand it then, but I think I do now. Like my coach always reminds me, “Beauty is in essence.”

So, beyond appearance, it’s important to be beautiful inside and out. It’s not enough to be incredibly pretty, what’s the state of your inner self?

I’m particularly biased when it comes to nice people. Whenever I meet someone who’s genuinely kind and nice, I tend to think they’re so attractive—even when they’re barely average by societal standards. To me, they’re a 10. How’s that possible? Their personality magically boosts their appearance.

Dearest reader, it is my belief that beauty ought to come from within. Your heart must be just as beautiful as your face. Don’t be a pretty person with an ugly heart.

"NOT ADMITTED"

Image
She clicks on the Whatsapp group chat,  Yet another "Congratulations, you've been admitted", with her heart heavy, she angrily leaves the group, minimize out of Whatsapp. There she is patiently waiting for chrome to load her admission status, this is the third time today she's logging into her jamb caps.  Her eyes almost eager with hope, she muttered under her breath, "God please" The network server makes matter worst by going sluggishly as she clickes "Regular admission status" she closes her eyes, hoping against hope, praying fervently, that this time it'd be different.  But it's not, because as she opens her eyes slowly, she's greeted with an arrogantly boldly written, "NOT ADMITTED", screaming at her. Suddenly the dam breaks.  Silently, tears begin to stream down her eyes, taking a rather familiar router via her chin.  The urge to throw her phone across the room intensifies, she wishes she could will her admission into exi...

TEAM WORK

Image
It can be quite frustrating when a collective effort results in only one person receiving all the praise. Even if my contribution is just 1%, it shouldn’t be overlooked. You never know how these small efforts can make a significant difference. My bubugaga is back from school, and today we did a lot of tidying up. It’s amazing how I suddenly find the energy to work when she's around, despite my usual laziness. After completing so much work, we took a break—we were honestly worn out. Fast forward to the end of the day: everyone applauded her for a job well done, as though it was solely her effort. It felt off because I felt I deserved some recognition too—it was teamwork, after all. So, the point is, you never know how hurtful it can be when someone's effort goes unacknowledged. No matter how small the contribution, appreciate it alongside the major ones. Dearest reader, do you find yourself annoyed like myself when your effort is overlooked in a team work?  @favvy_Ok...

LESS THAN ONE.

Image
There are days when my arms are too heavy to hold a pen, my brain too disorganized to put a sentence together, my thoughts an unending swirl of emotions. But then there are days—days when my smile can break through your screen, invade your life, and steal alongside your heart. Days when my excitement can be likened to that of a 2-year-old, where my inquisitiveness and curiosity know no bounds. Well, today is the latter. But like a poet I love once said, "Even if the light's turned on and my fears are not gone, I'll give it my best shot because the show must go on." So, I'd like to talk about something today: the idea of "LESS THAN ONE." But before we dive into this, allow me to tell you a story. ***** Once upon a time, I had a friend. You know that feeling of being friends with the girl every guy wants, so you get a lot of "Please help me talk to your friend"? In school, we had our lunch bought by different guys each day—one of the ...
