 There are so many different kinds of beauty, it’s true!  What I’m saying is actually more radical than “it’s okay to tell when someone is beautiful,” conventionally and physically or otherwise. I think it’s good to ENJOY that they are beautiful. 

Many people don’t see that enjoying beauty is not the same as fetishizing beauty. This is what I’m trying to call attention to. 
 I understood. Just piggybacking. The hyper critical me doesn’t believe in beauty. Everything is a flaw. But I am catholic so that has to be taken into consideration. 
 A thing can be beautiful without being perfect 🫂 
 Very true. 
The down side of this form of communication is that a lot of the ideas we throw around here books could and have been written about them. Nuance and illustration easily get lost.
