The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched; they must be felt with the heart ~ Helen Keller

An Introduction

To whoever may read this:

At the request of several girls, I have dedicated this Blog to the pursuit of understanding and defining purity; or, rather, the center of beauty.

In a world pursuing sensuality and seduction, the search for true beauty becomes confusing, even hopeless at times. "Am I beautiful?" "Am I attractive?" "What is beautiful?" "What is not?" "Does it even matter?" These questions stir in the heart of every girl -- they torture, taunt, and tear us apart. They leave us insecure, afraid, and weak. And we become susceptible to the world's cure: lose weight, tone up, get extensions, implants, liposuction; wear make-up, low-cut tops, tight pants, short skirts, high-heels, and push-up bras. What the hell? Since when does advertising our body in such a manner qualify as beautiful? In fifty years, all that effort will have gone to waste anyway; so if true beauty lasts, we can quickly say that none of the world's solutions are valid options.

With that eliminated, the next question is, "what DOES last?" Your character, your heart, and your mind. (You may be thinking, "but boys don't go for that!" Oh, I'm sorry, but we're not here to attract womanizers. And if you advertise your body in a seductive manner, that's the type of guys that will follow you -- shallow men who have little ability [or will] to see past physical attraction. As I pointed out earlier, what good is that in fifty years? What stability, what romance, and what happiness can that offer you?) Honey, if you want the real things in life, the real things -- the things that last -- are what you need to invest in. And that's what this journey is all about. That's what this Blog is dedicated to. And that's what I'm willing to fight for: real beauty. Beauty that lasts.
