PRETTY IS:

Pretty is watching conference in your little apartment kitchen with your wonderful roommates.

Pretty is the tall structured old women on the metro today who held such poise.

Pretty is this hot chocolate in my yellow mug. 

pretty is writing in your journal. (your new russian journal!)

pretty is curling up on your bed with your roommates talking about the wonderful things of home. 

Pretty is setting and accomplishing goals.

Pretty is a smile for someone, which in return makes them laugh. 

Pretty is having sincere gratitude.

Pretty is uncovering some of your path.

and what i've learned most about what being pretty is really all about?  

 modesty. A women who covers, cherishes, and respects her body; A women who knows that her body is a temple, a place for God to dwell; and a women who doesn't allow dirty hands to be placed in sacred places... she is beauty. She is pretty. 

Pretty is Modesty. 

I miss seeing that respect for ones self. And I'm sick of seeing the lack of it.

Women are pretty from the INSIDE, OUT. and no matter what you wear, what you do, or what you say, that fact is NOT going to change. The only thing that will change, is the respect that others give you. And know this; YOU deserve all the respect in the world.
