Pretty is....

First, a story.
A couple of years ago I overheard my little sister and her friend talking. The subject of discussion was .... well, they were rating people's looks, then personalities on a scale of one to ten. Her friend said, "M.(thats me) is a 10(in looks)"My sister agreed. Now this story isn't to brag that I'm attractive, not at all. I thought about what they said and realized something. While I'm flattered, I'm also a little sad. If my face is a 10, then my personality is going to be lower than that. I would rather have a better personality then a really pretty face. Ever since I was little people have told me I'm beautiful. I do appreciate it, I like being pretty, but being pretty is not enough. I don't think anyone has ever given me a compliment about my personality. My sister and brother are the funny ones. I'm the pretty one. Oh and I've heard I'm diginified. I don't want you to think I'm complaining, because I'm not. I don't have the natural talent for making people laugh, I'm not super sweet, and I'm a bit more reserved. Thats just who I am. The only reason I'm explaining this is to let you know that beauty is NOT everything. In fact, its only a small part. People won't like you just because you are pretty. Yes, boys will like you, but you know what? They won't really like you. They like your face. I don't know about you, but I want a guy to like me not because of my face, but because of my personality.
My Grandma used to tell me "pretty is as pretty does". I don't think she took that to heart herself, but its a very true statement. I know that when I get to know people and really like their personalities I think they are pretty. Even if when I first meet them and I think they are okay-looking, if they are pretty people in the inside, in my eyes it affects the outside.
God has a very similar view on it. "Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." Proverbs 31:30
So lessons you should learn from this-
Beauty is subjective. Beauty is individual and unique. Beauty is as beauty does.
True beauty comes from inside.
