I was on the bus the other day just people observing, when a weird realization hit me... people are actually kinda beautiful. Now, appearance-wise, not everyone may be a stud muffin but I look at them, I see them smile, I see them frown, I see them observing others, I see them lost in thought, I see them for who they are even though they are complete strangers to me. Have you ever found yourself in a semi-full subway train and looking at people thought, I wonder what this person's life is like, what do they do? Where do they work? What's happening in their social life? Personal life? What's on their minds at that very moment? What's in their hearts?
See this is what a 45 minute commute to school does to you, it provokes overthinking, listening to music eventually leads to thinking, reading a book and even watching people around you gets you pondering. Then again it could just be me and my brain running wild.
Despite all the "ugly", cruel, cold, rude and horrible people that surround us daily, in the midst of that we can still get a glimpse of how genuinely beautiful the human being can be, catching them in their fragile and vulnerable moments. The other day I saw two little girls on the bus and I didn't just think they were beautiful, I felt it, in my heart, as cheesy as that sounds. Even seeing people sleeping, it's precious. Yesterday, a random construction worker dude made a baby laugh, it was a such an adorable, tender moment, not only did I see the beauty in these two strangers interacting, I felt it as well and in seeing the face of the baby's mother as she smiled.
On that note, it's interesting...why is it that our views and opinions of a certain person's "beauty" change over time as we get to know them? Or do they?
