A Completely Random Thought
I feel that people who have studied (or are familiar with) art history have a healthier viewpoint on the concept of “female beauty” and body image issues. When you study art from the time of cave paintings until now, you’ll see that full-figured women have been the ideal up until about the 1960s. This is because it’s a symbol of health, abundant food, and fertility. I think that people who are formulating their concept of “what beauty is” entirely from magazines, television shows, models, and celebrities of today have a much more narrow, warped view on what beauty is, because their frame of reference is so much smaller. So the next time you’re feeling down about your body, go look at some Rubens (where the term ‘Rubanesque’ comes from), Raphael, or Botticelli paintings. :)

Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.
—Henry Rollins
We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting.
—Kahlil Gibran
A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness.
—John Keats
“Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.” - Edgar Allan Poe
“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”

Coldplay - Fix You
When you try your best, but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you’re too in love to let it go
But if you never try you’ll never know
Just what you’re worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I…
Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And I…
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Beauty gets the attention, personality gets the heart.
—Alfred Muteti
