Nature of beauty

Figure 1: Greenery.

Beauty is a unique quality which brings pleasure to the senses. This is a dictionary definition of beauty, for me, beauty is a deep quality which brings out the best from an event, a scenery and even people. This deep quality is skin deep and certainly can be achieved with a great deal of appreciation.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

Without real experience or know how regarding the subject, it is hard for me to refer it as a beauty or beautiful. However with deep knowledge as well as experience, be it hardship or filled with joy, that unique quality brings me to realize the beauty in the subject matter.

"Beauty is not about having a pretty face, it is about having a pretty mind, pretty heart and pretty soul"

These modern days, beauty is all about having smoothness in life, be it smooth silky skin, shiny smooth paint,  be it artificial or original, beauty is regarded as only the outer layer of the subject. Less is regarded to those deep inside values or qualities in the subject's life, depiction and creation.

It is said that, "a beautiful smile hides the most hideous scars."

Superficial beauty is wonderful if it makes the front cover of a magazine, however one without that certain deep emotional quality will just stay that way without the readers even regarding it more than just a beautiful magazine cover. Understanding what's deep inside can reveal the true colors of beauty.

Be it sorrow, sadness, gloominess, loneliness, happiness, gladness and millions more expressions of emotions can make beauty in a certain event or a certain person can make that huge impact on life. Life is more than just outer beauty and more towards the whole.

Modern definition of beauty is regarded as a number one liar of a perfect world blinding mankind. I'm sorry if my definition of beauty is so mixed up, but due to my limited life experience, I found that, "there is more to beauty than what pleases the eyes".

Shades of Green

Since it has been an undeniably hot week, I'll just rave on something that is pleasing and not hurting the eyes, the color of  greenery which is soft and have a cooling effect when looked upon. Green color has always been a no for me to wear as I'm more into darker styling and not bright nature colors.

But I'm started to get attracted to the shades of green,

Figure 1: Chili.

 I simply love spices and spicy food always seems to surround me, this little peppery like chili is my favorite, it has a wonderful aroma when cooked and even eaten raw. This color of green is also a favorite.

Figure 2: Nike Dunk SB "Feel Good".

 This Nike SB Dunk Hi is my first pair of SB soles which are green in color and some accent of red, I like the textured leather and this colorway is very unique. These pair of shoes are very comfortable for long walks.

Figure 3: Unripe bananas.

These bananas are taken in early to be ripen up by itself due to the weight of the fruit causing the banana tree to bend. The color of green on these bananas are also eye cooling to my eyes.

Still there's a softer, lighter part of me which wants to explore green. Not too much just a little.
