"It's a kind of radiance. People who possess a true inner beauty, their eyes are a little brighter, their skin a little more dewy. They vibrate at a difference frequency."
~ Cameron Diaz
Thoughts as I listen to a Bruno Mars' Doo-Wops &;Hooligans.

Cameron Diaz's quote reflects the idea of someone completely comfortable in their skin. Skin as in not just the physical encasing of our body but also in our thoughts, beliefs, and actions. When someone is comfortable with themselves, they enjoy who they are and live more freely. They don't carry the worry of what other people think of them because they understand not only that it does not matter to them but that it won't affect them; without this weight they aren't bound to, strongly at least, to social expectations. They start to act how they want to act, believe what they want to believe, and do what they want to do. You can see this very often with people who either have a strong belief system, have a sense of purpose in their life, or maybe both. Another way of saying this is that they have a good sense of identity. They can be tall people or short people, rich and famous or poor and unknown, black, white, brown, yellow, or blue, the potential for us to exist with such "radiance" is in all of us.
On a side note... I'm trying to get back into writing again, whether that be through blogging or writing in my journal. It's taken me a while to realize that my soul is most at peace when I am writing. Writing helps me think clearly and puts my ideas, stresses, and life in a different perspective. Without it my brain becomes unorganized and I become more stressed out inhibiting my ability to think freely. I wish to find a sort of inner peace with myself, and I think blogging will help me do so. More of this to come!
