I came across this quote recently and thought it was one of the most insightful and true things I’ve read recently. 

People have their own definitions of beauty, but I know that beautiful people don’t just happen. While some people say beautiful people can be described as someone with God given good looks, I say beautiful people are ones that have gone through struggle and experienced loss but have risen from the darkness of it. 

Everyone has their mountain to climb or obstacle to overcome. We can’t always see on the outside what someone may be going through. Some choose to hide their suffering and defeat, while others it’s a visible struggle. But no matter what, when people are able to overcome their defeat, they are molded into the beautiful people they were meant to be. They understand compassion more easily and are able to fully understand life in all its ups and downs.

Beautiful people do not just happen. Everyone has fought a battle of some sort. So if you stop to take a look around you, you’ll see that beautiful people are really everywhere.
