A Conversation That Matters

Beauty, beauty, beauty!

That's all you care about, don't you?

Look at the world around you.

Open your eyes.

That isn't what matters.

It's who you are from the inside.

Not from the outside.

I don't care if you're the fairest of all,

Neither will I if you are the ugliest.

All that matters is how you are as an individual.

Witty, intelligent and diligent?

Or humorous, delightful and gleeful?

Or sad, sorrowful and pessimistic?

I want to be your friend, not turn into your enemy.

I want to change you for the better, for the greater good.

If you hurt yourself like this, life will take you nowhere.

Do you understand?

I hope you do.
