What is the definition of beauty? Why must we all attempt to conform to a standard that is objective when beauty within itself is forever subjective.

I have always mentally struggled with the idea of beauty, I love beautiful things and they hold a place in my heart and mind but when it comes to people why is it that this idea has to be defined as one specific thing? I logically know that beauty is not what society says it is but somewhere in the back of my mind I find myself comparing, judging, and subconsciously trying to morph myself into a form of beauty that others can digest. I cannot digest it. I cannot allow myself to change my own beauty to fit someone else's definition. With that notion in mind, I stand in a weird secluded place of confusion because after years and conditioning from the media and society, what is my own idea of beauty?

I see beauty as fleeting, nothing truly beautiful will last forever. Perhaps art and photographs can but is that beauty? or is that the capture of beautiful things? Is beauty found in the art itself or the concept that someone created something from nothing? If the latter was true then would us as humans be considered beautiful, not by our physical appearance but because we are creating our lives as we go, creating our identities and beliefs.

It is a hard topic to ponder, the idea of beauty. I say that because I find it easy to find beauty in the world around me but lack the ability to see it within myself. Is it important to see beauty in one's own self? If so, what is the benefit in doing that? why do we put beauty on a pedestal, beautiful things are automatically better, but why? perhaps conventionally 'ugly' things are more beneficial to society than beauty. When humans intake beauty, we gain some form of dopamine, we associate some form of positivity to it and never question anything beyond this 'good' feeling we gain from the beauty around us. We mindlessly accept beauty as a birthright, no questions or thoughts beyond what we see just acceptance and appreciation. However, when we see the opposite of beauty we feel deeply, whether it be feelings of unease, disgust, or pure dislike, we are able to associate some form of negative feeling towards it. Those 'negative' feelings we experience when faced with conventionally ugly things always carry so much weight, they are filled with questions and ideas we should unpack. It is easier to mindlessly accept beauty than to question the weight of the 'ugly', and that is exactly what we, we,humans, do; we search for beauty and reject anything less and flow throughout life with ease.

I believe that one's love for beauty stems from the love they have within themselves, and the hatred for ugly is also from the hatred of their own ugly. We crave the beauty that the world offers because it affirms the beauty we see within ourselves, yet we dismiss the ugly because It also affirm the ugly inside one's self that they are not ready to face. Hence the reasoning that beauty is subjective, we are all unique and view the world as such, intaking and rejecting what we deem fit. This is just a reflection of one's self image.

So, where does that leave us on the idea of beauty? Yes it is nice to have and experience, yet we should not place so much power in beauty for it is simply a luxury we should consume in moderation. The true power is in the conventionally ugly things, it is those things that force us to look within and gain a deeper understanding on ourselves and our minds. Beauty and Ugly are two ends on the same stick and balance is required to maintain a sustainable life, we must not stress about beauty and achieving such a title for it is only one end to a whole. We are all beautiful and equally ugly, whatever your story may be, it is important to not have surface level titles dictate ones state of mind.

Beauty cannot be defined as one description, it cannot be created or destroyed. It is a form of energy that we give and receive, it is an enegitical exchange that is happening all around us at every second the day. The birth can be ugly and the death can be beautiful, for it is all in the eyes of the beholder.

It was during the primitive hours of 2AM on February 18th, 2023 that the impulsive conception of this blog came to be. See, I never thought the idea of starting a blog would manifest into anything other than a humorous notion to play with when the realities of my soul sucking 9-5 job became too unbearable; yet here I am sitting at my freshly cleaned Ikea desk typing my future away.
