What's your definition of beautiful? 

For me, beauty always mean fair skin, sharp nose, pink lips, big round eyes, straight long hair and slim body. Frankly, that's how I define beautiful. I always view models and miss world/universe (or whatever miss it's called) as a symbol of perfection. And I envy them. 

I realize that outer beauty doesn't last. It fades with time! It's inner beauty that stays with you. It defines who you really are. But still, it's outer beauty that people eagerly look at. 

As I grow older, I slowly learn to accept all my flaws and imperfections, and embrace them. This is what I do every single morning : I look in the mirror, give myself the most sincere smile, and say, "You're beautiful and unique." 

Well, it takes some time to build confidence and takes lots of time to convince myself that I'm like the rest, beautiful. 

But hey, as long as I have family, friends, education, health and most importantly, faith, I guess that's more than enough. 

Last but not least, I don't know why, but each time I feel like I'm lacking in everything and wanting more, this verse always comes to my mind. 

Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny? (Surah Ar-Rahman)
