And by that, they usually mean having the gall to fix yourself up the way they fix themselves up in the morning. Good times. Then, of course, there's the joy of wondering what your life is going to be like when you age, when all the things that you take for granted disappear. You wonder if you have the personality for people to actually like you for yourself. Yeah. Good times, indeed.

Outer beauty is fleeting and so hard to quantify. Besides, the closer I get to someone, the less I'm able to even notice what the rest of the world sees them as. I really believe that my ex-boyfriend is the best looking man on the face of the Earth. He's probably not. Other people don't treat him like he is, at least. But I can't think of a single person above him. And I'm so bad at judging what my best friend looks like that I tell people it's like I've never seen her. Going off of her boyfriends, I've decided that she's probably slightly better than average looking. She has the most beautiful soul, though, that much I know.

It's true. Samantha clearly knows she's beautiful. She isn't a bitch about it though. She has a hard time deciding who's genuine and who's blinded by beauty. She hates that her girlfriends tell her they think she's prettier without make up. "Am I really prettier without, or do they want me to look more plain?" She said something striking to me the other day... something along the lines of wondering if she got psoriasis to keep her grounded. The girls want to be her, the boys want to be with her. I don't know. She has a wonderful personality and spirit about her, and as age takes it's toll, she will still have inner beauty about her.

Thanks for appreciating this, Angelina!
