Beautiful People

I just had a bum tell me I was beautiful. He was actually asking for money and when I showed him that literally all I had on me was a book and my keys he simply told me that I was beautiful. Funny how that word can mean so much to me even coming from a complete stranger. He will never know how much I needed to hear that.
It's funny how we can't really choose who sees our beauty. We've all got an incredible amount inside of us. But there are only certain people in our lives that ever take to time to see us in our full beauty. Makes me want to take the time to really get to know some of my friends better, to try and find the beauty in everyone.
We did this exercise in my acting class during the first few days in which people got up and performed monologues and the Professor talked about how amazing it was to watch everyone and how it was so neat to see how beautiful people really are. It was so true. Everytime someone was up there you couldn't resist but think, "wow, look at how beautiful he/she is".
This is a shout out to Alexis, who said she read my blog. She is more beautiful than I think she knows too. She lets me use the bathroom at her house right now. That, for me right now, is true beauty.
