Beauty is not long hair, skinny legs, or perfect teeth. Believe me. Beauty is the face of who cried and now smiles, beauty is the scar on your knee since you fell when you were a kid, beauty is the circles when love doesn't let you sleep, beauty is the expression on the face when the alarm rings in the morning, its the melted makeup when you have a shower, it's the laughter when you make a joke you're the only one can understand, beauty is meeting his gaze and stopping understanding, beauty is your gaze when you see him, it's when you cry for all your paranoias, beauty is the lines marked by time. Beauty is what we feel in the inside which also shows outside us. Beauty is the marks life leaves on us, all the kicks and caresses the memories leave us. Beauty is letting yourself live. ~Emma Watson
