What Is Beauty?
Beauty is many things.

Beauty is being who you are.
Beauty is believing in yourself.
Beauty is when someone isn't afraid to break out of the crowd.
Beauty is living.
Beauty does not revolve around designer clothing or clothing at all.
It does not revolve around shoes, or make up, or the latest colognes/perfumes.
It doesn't revolve around the latest video games you have.
Beauty is being unique, and not following the crowd.
And lastly, beauty is strength, and courage.
Courage to dare to be different.
And strength to change what you can, knowing you can make a difference.

To me, THAT is beauty

Cos'è la bellezza?

La bellezza è molte cose.

La bellezza è essere chi sei.

La bellezza è credere in te stesso.

La bellezza è quando qualcuno non ha paura di uscire dalla folla.

La bellezza è vita.

La bellezza non ruotano intorno designer di abbigliamento o indumenti a tutti.

Non ruotano intorno scarpe, o make up, o la colonia più recenti / profumi.

Non ruotano intorno i più recenti giochi video che hai.

La bellezza è essere unico, e non a seguito della folla.

E, infine, la bellezza è forza e coraggio.

Coraggio di osare di essere diversi.

E la forza di cambiare ciò che si può, sapendo che si può fare la differenza.

Per me, questa è la bellezza

Itailian FTW. <3
