True beauty is the way you look when you find the guts to show another person the inside of your heart.
I don't believe in love at first sight. No I really don't, because it would mean you fell head over heels for the appearance of someone, rather than for the person he or she actually is. Of course looks are important and it's always nice to have someone at your side to show off and brag about to your friends. But firstly; who or what defines beauty? Secondly; who says your mates will think she's pretty, too? In the end, beauty is just a matter of taste. This is a good thing by the way, because otherwise we’d all be looking the same, and there’s nothing unique about that.
But getting back to the original subject: love at first sight. The reason why I don't buy it, is because at the end of the day, it's the character of the person that you have to live with. If you decide to stay with someone because you think he or she is sooo drop dead gorgeous, will you be able to see through all their (bad, annoying or weird) habits and stay with that person anyway? I think it's time we spend less time validating the outside and a bit more time on the inside of the individual. Just think of what you could be missing out on because you didn't give someone the chance to show you their true beauty. Sometimes you have to look a little bit deeper than that obvious layer of foundation and mascara, spray tan or cheesy lines. What are they trying to cover up anyway? Try to see beyond all that and you may just find exactly what you've been looking for all that time.
Happy hunting.
