    WHAT IF, ONE DAY, YOU WOKE UP &
    forgot your life? Forgot your past, your friends,
    your family, your hopes, your loves, your dreams,
    your favourite songs, where you got your scars -
    what if you woke up one day, and forgot who you are?
    Would you still be you?

    I BELIEVE THAT BEAUTY DOESN'T EXIST.
    Beautiful isn't an adjective.
    Or a noun.
    Or a quality.
    Beauty is not in the object, but in our minds.
    To you, music may be a mere convenience. But to a musician, it is his life, something BEAUTIFUL.
    To you, clothes may be a simple body protector. But to a fashion designer, fabric and every little piece of thread is BEAUTIFUL.
    To you, bugs may be a nuisance. But to a biologist, every little life that lies on the face of this earth is BEAUTIFUL.
    To you, the sounds surrounding you is something normal. But to a blind man, every fragment of sound is of value, is BEAUTIFUL.
    To a realist, pain is beauty.
    To a dreamer, happily ever after is beauty.
    To a mother, her daughter is beauty.
    To a daughter, her mother is beauty.
    To a child, wisdom is beauty.
    To an adult, youth is beauty.
    To an optimist, living is beauty.
    To a pessimist, death is beauty.
    In this way, beauty is not definite, it is not fixed. It lies in our minds, our hearts, the way in which we see things.
    This is why I say everything in this world is BEAUTIFUL.
    But then people argue that 'beauty' would lose its meaning if that were true. But how can something lose its meaning if it never had one in the first place?
    Everything is BEAUTIFUL, beauty is everywhere. It just takes right person to find it in certain things. It takes the right mind to identify it. But it is always there, regardless.
    So when someone says you're BEAUTIFUL, don't deny it. Because beauty is not in the appearance, nor is it in the heart like it is commonly mistaken. It is in the mind and the eyes of the person who named you as BEAUTIFUL.
    Scientists, philosophers and people in general have been pondering the definition of beauty for countless of years, and I finally have an answer:
    Beauty cannot be defined, because it doesn't exist.

    A couple months ago, I posted a piece of writing on my Facebook page which is essentially my basic philosophy on life. It's really long but I consider it worth reading. Is anyone interested in me posting it here?

    "it's weird to me how no one can ever feel something or see something the same way you do, we really are all alone in our mind, my happy isn't your happy and my sad isn't your sad and that tree doesn't look the same to you as it does to me. technically, no one can ever truly understand how you feel or your perception of something."

    “Don't let yourself be victimized by the age you live in. It's not the times that will bring us down, any more than it's society. When you put the blame on society, then you end up turning to society for the solution. There's a tendency today to absolve individuals of moral responsiblity and treat them as victims of social circumstance. You buy that, you pay with your soul. It's not men who limit women. It's not straights who limit gays. It's not whites who limit blacks. What limits people is lack of character. What limits people is that they don't have the f//king nerve or imagination to star in their own movie, let alone direct it. Yuck."
    -Tom Robbins

    i found a miracle
    Not the one I'm looking for, but I was thinking and I found one.
    Red rocks.
    I think red rocks are some of the most beautiful things on planet earth. What I mean are the ones that are in Arizona, you know those desert sculptures that just dominate the landscape? When I die, I want to dream of being a red rock. Maybe even be one, for a bit.
    They're sanded down by the wind all the time, and it makes me really sad to think that maybe one day they're not gonna stand up tall and brave in the middle of the desert, but that's okay because I think the sand and dust they stand on is just too gorgeous as well.
    You know what else I think is beautiful? The night sky. Or the sky in general. Even if you think of it scientifically, how isn't it a miracle that we see black as blue? And we see darkness with broken jewels in it? Stars are my favourite things in the whole of existence, I think.
    I love the sky. I'd like to be a rock until the end of earth, and when the sun supernovas in five odd billion years, I want my atoms to fly back into the heart of a beautiful nebula and start making some other planet. I'd like to twinkle, and if there is life out there other than for us, I would like someone to make a wish on me.
    Well, my atoms.
    I love that - referring to myself as atoms. We're all made of atoms. I'm made of what you're made of, and rocks are made of, and stars are made of.
    & if that's not a miracle, I don't know what is.

    "To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless-- it will change. It will not be broken; it will becme unbreakable,
    impenetrable, irredeemable."

    I originally posted this on my Facebook about 2 months ago, and due to several people wanting me to post it here, that's what I'm doing. This is my basic philosophy on life, and despite the length, I promise that it's worth reading.
    I feel like there are some people in this world who take other people for granted too much and don't understand what it means when someone truly cares about them. Now, I understand that you would cut someone out of your life if all they ever did was hurt you emotionally and disappoint you. But what I definitely don't agree with is closing yourself off to almost everyone, including people who actually care about you and want to get to know you, just because of the experiences that you've had with the wrong people in the past. There is still such a thing as a person who genuinely cares about the people they associate with. I'm living proof that those kinds of people still exist. Not everyone you ever meet is going to take advantage of you. Some people genuinely care about how you feel and want to see you be happy and will do a lot of things to help you with being happy. But if you're too close-minded to realize that, you're gonna end up hurting yourself whether you realize it or not, by missing out on getting close with someone who is extremely loyal to people they care about and would always be there for you. That's the type of person that I am when I'm close with someone. If we get to know each other, you're risking literally nothing, because once we're close I'll never abandon you. And it's not like I'm the only person who has this extreme level of loyalty to people. There are some bad people in this world who only care about their own feelings, but if you judge everyone because of the wrong people you've associated with before, your mind isn't opened enough. And you'll make things way worse if you push away people who actually want you to be happy. You're hurting people who try to help you, and you're hurting yourself by not letting them help you. I know that it definitely hurts me when I get pushed away by people when I try to help them be happy. Don't do that to people, because someday you'll push them away and then you might just end up losing them forever. You don't need to live a life where you constantly worry about people using you, taking advantage of you, abandoning you, etc., as long as you trust the correct people. And just because I'm a trustworthy and caring person, it doesn't mean that I'm weak. It means that I'm mature enough to have empathy for people and not do things to them that I would hate to have done to me. I try to make other people happy because being happy is the main purpose of life, and life is way too short to not be happy. And I'm not the only person in the world who thinks this way, either. So, if you read all of this, then no matter who you are, I hope that it's made you think about how much you open yourself up to people who care, and I also hope that if you have issues doing that, it won't be so hard for you anymore. Some people don't care, but you just have to find the ones who actually do, and they're the only ones who you'll ever truly need. And if someone decides to care about you when they don't even need to, you should feel special and you should be grateful enough about it to at least care about them, too. Those people who just refuse to give up on you no matter what happens are the people who you need in your life whether you think so or not.

    Otherwise, there
