I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful — from She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5

How many of us try to make ourselves beautiful in order to be more “attractive” to others? Sometimes I wonder about the motives behind improving one’s own attractiveness. We are visual beings, and what appeals to the eye tends to not only catch, but hold our attention. However, I wonder if the most beautiful people feel the most lonely.

The opposite would probably hold true. There are people who look ordinary, perhaps even hideous, yet with time they find that one person who makes them feel beautiful, beyond anything superficial that comes to mind.

Who, then, are the fortunate ones?

Good night, everyone.
