Love Is All Around - Or Is It?

By Azurre Austen Azeez

There's that old saying "love makes the world go round." Many find it to be true, but did you know that love also makes a person more beautiful?

People often say that how a person feels deep down inside will be shown on the outside. A person who feels loved and in love will have a different look and aura. They say it's the "gleam in one's eye" or a "glow in one’s cheeks." It is something that improves a person's appearance.

The love that we are talking here is not necessarily the "man and woman" type of love to be beautiful: it can be filial love or love for anything. What is important is that you have a powerful feeling that would transform heaven and earth and a person's sense of well-being.

Imagine how you would look if you feel that no one cares for you or loves you; this depressed feeling will make you feel low and down and would lead to looking depressed and/or angry.

On the contrary, a person who feels that he is loved by his family, his friends, or by a special someone, will have a face that speaks of serenity, peace and happiness.

The glow of love does not only create a glow in one's heart but it also creates a glow in one's face and reflects how a person views the world around him. A lighter feeling inside can result in a lighter, calmer face and a happy disposition that will improve one's appearance and emotion.

We all notice how most women look their prettiest on their wedding day. Despite the pressure, stress and the hustle and bustle of wedding preparations, a woman will still look beautiful and lovely on her wedding day. They call it the "glow of love." These beautiful feelings inside are automatically transformed on the outside, making the bride look her most radiant and beautiful.

It may be the rush of adrenalin that gives people who are in love a special glow that makes their eyes sparkle, or their smiles brighter. It is often referred to as an inner beauty that is reflected in one's appearance.

A person who feels loved or who is in love will have more self esteem than an ordinary person. This self esteem can give a person a beautiful glow that exudes more confidence when facing others and in doing daily tasks. A person who exerts a great deal of effort to do the most mundane tasks will probably become happier doing those tasks when he is in love. Work is then completed more successfully

Although it is definitely true that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, true beauty is indeed in the eyes of a person in love. Therefore, be in love and be beautiful!
