Wow...


What is true beauty? There arent to many things in this world that are truly beautiful. And when you think something is, you give it enough time and it will start to fade. Think about the last time you saw something amazing. My example is the sunset on the ocean. I grew up in New Mexico for the most part. So when i moved back to Florida in the summer of 2001, i will never forget seeing the ocean again that first time. I remember the sounds of the Gulf of Mexico looking out the screen door of our condo. The breeze in the palm trees. Seagulls. Wave runners. It was so amazing to me. Something i knew i would never grow tired of. But somehow i did. Now that i no longer live in Florida, even when i go back, i dont consider the beach a priority on my list of things to do. I think i went home 3 times in a year and never went to the beach once. But there are beautiful things in life that dont fade. Things that cant be compared. Things that stand out above anything else. Things that have been there for a while still demand a moment where your breath is taken away by just a glimpse. I love that feeling. When there is so much going on around you but you cant help but tune it all out. voices. lights. people walking by. loud noises. But still you are captivated by that shade of blue you have never seen anywhere else, and you flash back to the first time you saw it. How the brightness warms you up until you cant help but smile. You get that picture of what true beauty really is. Its more beautiful than any sunset could ever be.
