The Blonde
Observations of a Romantic . . .
There are several types of beauty:
The lustful, aesthetic sort we fall for when we are young; effervescent,
The intelligent, compassionate sort we fall for when we’ve found confidence in who we are; fulfilling,
The enchanting, siren-esque sort we fall for when our spirits need a revival; endearing,
And the sort that fuses the lives of two to form a new, separate being; proliferative,
Often we grow through these stages,
Believing each one to be greater than the last.
