What does "beauty" mean to you?

It doesn’t matter how many pretty pictures you’ve taken. That pretty dress in your closet. The pageants you’ve won. What color skin you were born in. How perfect your talk is and graceful your walk is.

Transparency - putting yourself, your true self, completely out there on the table.

Allowing people to not only see the good sides of you and your life, but also your weaknesses, your fears, failures, and short-comings.

 Allowing that inner glow you have, and we all have one, to emanate from within you without fear, shame, or apology.

That is what beauty means to me.
