Beauty is in the Eye of the Gremlin

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm sure we have all heard this time and time again. We may have even been the speaker of this old cliché. But how much weight does it really carry for the purpose it's said? Truthfully, the only time this is really said it usually revolves around some sort of suffering mutant. They are reminded that beauty is something that each person holds unique and pretty much that someone out there wouldn't find them repulsive. No matter how ugly, fat, crack head thin you may be...someone out there will fuck you.

Saying to someone, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!" isn't a compliment. Letting them know that their repulsiveness is separate from the "ordinary ugly" we have become immune too and it would take an odd sort to hold them as divine? This is helping them feel better? When a person with exterior repugnance hears "You're so beautiful" from another human abomination it doesn't mean squat. "Sure, you think I'm pretty, but...you are fucking ugly too."

Now, there are a rare few of the "Beauty and the Beast" syndrome sufferers who actually go out and choose a gremlin of their very own. It has been said they actually find these creatures attractive. Models and Rock stars, ugly rock stars that is...models and ugly nobodies...who knows what powers these hobgoblins hold. Other than this rare horrifying disorder the only ones who think the ugly are beautiful are the ugly.

Learning to live with yourself and whatever deformity you suffer from is really the only comfort you need. When you are content with how you look, who gives a shit what this attractive shitass thinks? And does anyone really give a shit what another fucking troll thinks? No, I think not. Some beautiful people see nothing but ugly when they look in the mirror. They do not see what others see, they see what they feel. If that happens to be ugly and disgusted then that's what they see over a pair of pretty eyes. Having to hear you are wrong about the way you honestly feel only makes the mirror more disgusting.

Ugliness can be a misshapen face, crooked nose, bad teeth, or being overweight/underweight. Or it can be a mutilation of the image you see from the voices screaming from the past. Who are you to tell someone they have to be crazy to think they are ugly? Who are you to tell someone their distorted view is ALSO unattractive? And God knows, if you are a fucking mutant, please don't try to make them feel better by giving them your opinion.

I am a writer trying to find my way. A little bitter and angry at times, but for the most part I try to find the patience to deal with morons.  View profile

    You have read my mind and typed it into article form! Whoa. It's scary that there's someone else out there like me. I've always been told I am a freak for thinking the way I think! I know EXACTLY what you mean. My opinion of you, I know, won't help, because most people give their opinions from a place of self-serving. You're just cursed, b/c you happen to know that's the way it is (and I'll bet you vascillate between holding your tongue entirely on a matter b/c you don't want to be disingenuous and totally blurting out your true feelings on a matter b/c you're exasperated with everything). Maybe you're already on a path of healing, but, if not, I hope you get there. As cheesy as it sounds, recognizing the things you wrote about is definitely a beginning step.
