My mom has always told me that I have the gift of seeing the beauty in people. Who she would describe as homely, I would view as beautiful or handsome. To me, somebody is so much more than their physical appearance. As you get to know somebody their personality becomes a part of their looks. You begin to see people for who they are, not for what they look like.
Today, as I've interacted with people I know, I've tried very hard to focus on who people are not what they look like. I may be wrong, but it seems like most people think that looking beyond someone's looks means overcoming negative or judgmental feelings towards people who could be deemed "unattractive." But I think this goes both ways. People considered beautiful shouldn't be favored or viewed differently, even if it's positive. Everyone should be viewed equally. For who they are, not for how they look.
