the beauty of beauty.

irregardless of what's happening around us, and in this context - me, i tend to look things on the superficial side. i admit it, and it's wrong to do so.

something got me thinking and i realised that beauty is definitely in the eyes of the beholder. everyone would definitely be attracted to the looks of the opposite gender at first, not concerned about the inner beauty of them. and yak yak yak here i go again with my theory but it is just so true.

after spending some time with friend, for some of them, their beauty start to emerge from within and YES, they've become much more beautiful than before. i mean, yea, to you i may be talking rubbish but that's really how i feel.

on the other hand, what you think beauty is may not always be true. i'm starting to feel that there is no outer beauty and it doesnt play any part at all in anyone's relationship. what we want is from inside of people, and how they present themselves to others which ultimately determines the degree of beauty of others. if someone looks good but their attitude sucks, it's just that from another perspective that you view them, they don't seem beautiful at all, instead they are hideous.

and i guess you would agree with me to some extent if you look deeper into how people act. my feelings were taken granted, i've been used and i've almost been stripped of my own dignity to the extent that i would even label myself as "blind"; through that period i've listened to no one and charged forward without much thought, until i realised i've always been taking the wrong route - the worst route i've ever taken in my life. when i wanted to turn back i couldnt and eventually i fell hard.

thank goodness i could pick myself up, and it's not just my effort too and i've became wiser than before. that's why, we should never let outer beauty take the better of our feelings. never ever. no matter what. if you lack inner beauty, change, you would be a better person than before and you would be much more beautiful to others than expected.

that my crappy long-winded theory of beauty. whether you choose to believe or not, it's up to you. it would be great if you take the right step and not be like me. i've already been there and already done that and it brought me nowhere; it got me nothing.

KT Tunstall - Other Side of the World

"Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an Iceberg
Waiting to change,
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like the water.

All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same just like water

Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world to me

On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingersand feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along

Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world

Can you help me?
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore

Then the fire fades away
most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world
Ohh the other side of the world
You're the other side of the world to me."
