Inner Beauty

Hello, Lovelies! I hope everyone is doing okay after the recent natural disasters that have been occurring here in the United States. I know that my city was definitely devastated by Hurricane Irma and that everyone has been hoping and praying for a quick recovery. For today’s post I wanted to talk about something far beyond outer beauty. A vast majority of my friends, family, and peers have been involved in various efforts to help clean up and recover my community and city. This is beautiful because these people are taking the time out of their day to be considerate of others and help them in a time in need.

The Western World is very fast paced and people often get caught up in their own lives failing to realize that we are all humans on a planet, and that we should be helping each other all of the time, not just during natural disasters.

When my family found out about this hurricane we were not yet sure if we were going to evacuate, but we were considering it. The first thing I thought about being a feminine woman was, “If we evacuate, I’m bringing my school material, my favorite clothes, and all of my makeup and beauty supplies; because if all else gets ruined, I won’t fail school and I will still look presentable”. First off, I’m slightly ashamed for thinking this because although school is important, my makeup and my clothes shouldn’t have been in my thoughts during this time of preparing for such a natural disaster. I caught myself in the midst of my thoughts and was able to straighten myself out, thankfully, but at the same time it made me think of the other people in my generation and how their minds were processing what was going on.

I hope that with this article I can encourage millennials to stop themselves every once in awhile, and be considerate of others. There are so many things that contribute to outer beauty and they are all important, don’t get me wrong, but the most essential type of beauty that exists is inner beauty.

I want to reiterate that I hope everyone is recovering gracefully not just from the recent hurricanes, but from any fires, earthquakes, and other natural disasters that have been occurring throughout the world. Happiness is a choice, it’s not an easy one, but it’s definitely the best one.  Everyone please have an amazing afternoon.
