Beauty as Liberation

There is a lot of discussion about beauty. There is always a lot of discussion about beauty. These days it's about the massive amount of plastic surgery people are having and the millions spent to keep people looking younger and more desirable. 

I guess I don't see my beauty that way. I suppose because I really have no interest in attracting someone else, I just view my beauty as my canvas, as a display of skill. I don't feel like it has anything to do with anyone else. 

I hate that people DO feel like their looks are dependent on the approval of others. I wish we could move past that as a society. It can get very dark.
