The Big Goal-
I searched up the tag 'beauty' and i was disappointed by all of tumblr. What I got was a bunch of skinny girls often smoking or naked. Not to say there is no beauty there but there is beauty in so many other places. So, one tag at a time I am trying to broaden a tumblr idea of 'beauty'. I hope others can join me with this mission.
Society is far to quick to define beauty.
From the very beginning of our lives we are taught what beauty is. Beauty is drilled into us.
One of the most important questions during my time in primary school was 'What's your favourite colour.'
It sounds silly but in deciding which colour you favoured was to insult the beauty of other colours, and so via one of the simpler questions we have already begun to judge and define what beauty is.
One pattern is nicer than the other. Bunnies are cuter than spiders. Make-up makes you a pretty princess. Skinny is better than fat. Nothing in this world is equal anymore. So now I have decided to begin a journey of uncovering my eyes. Uncovering all the judgments and definitions I have created for the world during the years I have lived. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I wish to throw down the suffocating creation of beauty that my family, my friends, the media have given me and find beauty everywhere instead.
I am not perfect. I may look at a person with eyes of judgment, and I am not proud of vapid thoughts that may enter my brain, but then I try again, and i really look, and I have yet to see a person who isn't beautiful.
The light of the sun reflecting off the tiles, the way ants stick together and find food to feed their family, everywhere there is beauty.
I am not naive, there is also sorrow, but what is the use in obsessing over the sorrow in the world when you can make the world a better place instead?

An old Italian gentleman lived alone in New Jersey . He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:
Dear Vincent, I am feeling pretty sad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days. Love, Papa
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Papa, Don’t dig up that garden. That’ s where the bodies are buried. Love, Vinnie
At 4 a.m. The next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Papa, Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances. Love you, Vinnie
Awwwwwwwwhhhhhhh.
Awe (: so sweet, even though he’s a convict
