Welcome to the twenties world! I was once told that the twenties are the best years to make an account of precious memories of life, dreams and love–doing so in the most vibrant manner possible.

I love having my photo taken. If i have warning then I’m okay, but if you spring it on me I end up looking like some noob with large forehead and messy hair. Alot of people feel that spontaneous photos don't look good, sometimes i do feel that too. What’s interesting though is that most people seem to come up better when it’s a spontaneous photo than when they’re posed. Catching someone in a moment just makes them seem more natural and it’s closer to the memory we want to keep.
You often hear people say that it’s what’s on the inside that makes someone beautiful. It’s said so often that it’s become a cliché, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true. But oh well, people (mostly guys) their first instinct is to look at that, if they’re presentable, attractive. But I’m more interested in their personality and who they are. I think someone can be very attractive but not beautiful. Thats why i mix with everyone, no matter he/she is ugly or pretty.
Despite the evolution of facebook, friendster and etc, commenting on other people's photo seem to get much simpler, easier. Some would compliment Sexy, Cute. Certainly someone can be sexy and it can be a compliment, but I’m not a fan of how it’s overused; sexy, sexed up, I find that’s more about lust and desire than anything empowering. Praising cute does not seemed appropriate either. I looked up on dictionary, and cute actually means ugly but adorable. What a contradicting sentence! How can you be ugly and adorable at the same time??
I guess I’ve always thought of beauty as what we represent as a whole, while someone’s attractiveness (or sexiness) is more related to their appearance. Some photos seemed to capture that beauty; more than just the appearance, it caught the light in their eyes, a smile, a laugh… it transcended the rest.
I know i'm fugly, but its natural :)
And sadly, some people view photos in different perspective. Body figures, face. The common ones.
What all this makes me wonder, though, is how do we define beauty today? Has it changed, the definition evolved? I think the way beauty and sexy are used interchangeably now suggests that it has.
But that’s part of the culture we live in now. Appearances matter more than ever and our definition of beauty is skin deep. As long as we’re presentable and look a certain way, then someone will like us enough that we’ll feel good about ourselves…
I wonder what you think. How do you define beauty and looks? What makes you beautiful? I’d be interested to find out ;)

“To put away aimlessness and weakness, and to begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment; who make all conditions serve them, and who think strongly, attempt fearlessly, and accomplish masterfully.”
- James Allen Quotes
Sometimes I wonder how people see me and what they think of me. It scares me a bit, honestly. I am sure though, that what they think of me,
what they think my life is, is a complete misperception. I have always tried to show myself as a carefree person, as someone who wont get bothered
because of public judgements. I am sure my friend and family think there is nothing going wrong in my life, that I do not worry enough, that
I am always happy. And I am sure they probably somewhat hate me for it because, lets admit it, there is nothing worse than seeing someone
who is life seems so perfect while yours is a complete mess. Truth is, I have become an expert at pretending. I think we are all experts
or at least we are getting there.
