the beauty pageant

beauty. it's defined in the dictionary as the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising fromsensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personalityin which high spiritual qualities are manifest). and as humans i'd like to believe that we each have our own definition of beauty. to some it looks like this:

or this:

but the one of the amazing thing about God is that he isn't the judge of a beauty pageant. he doesn't care how you look in a bikini or if you can walk down a runway in heels. God loves you the way you are. he made you the way you are because he think you are beautiful. here are some of the top image results for beauty, you might be surprised,

beauty comes in a shapes, sizes, colors, races, and God doesn't see any of that. he sees all of us as a b-e-a-u-tiful child. his creation. so don't change yourself because you want to look "beautiful" because you all ready are.

just smile and don't change yourself to fit societies demand of beauty.

just...laugh?

laughter is an audible expression or the appearance of happiness, or an inward feeling of joy (laughing on the inside). it may ensue (as physiological reaction) from jokes, tickling or other stimuli. it is in most cases a very pleasant sensation.

it's fun to laugh. right? who doesn't like to laugh? it's something we can all do. it's the same in every language. and that's what the picture above says. young. old. human. horse. american. asian. it doesn't matter. so why is laughter so universal. fun. essential? i don't know. all i know it that life is no fun without laughter. so just laugh. life. love. smile. enjoy it. awesome sauce.

so this post was a little different from everything else that i've posted. so if you'd like to see me post about a particular subject. comment here and i'll give it a try.
