157. You're NOT Pretty...


Listen Later

"Oh my gosh, you're sooooo pretty", they say. 

This is a compliment that seems to be thrown around regularly and a word that holds very little substance as it's defined differently through the eyes of the person handing out the tag. 

What do you think of the words pretty and beautiful? 

Have you ever looked up the definitions?!?!

Beautiful 

(n) 1. a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight. 

"I was stuck by her beauty"

(n) 2. a beautiful woman

Do you know what the antonym of beautiful woman is...

#UGLY WOMAN

That feels pretty gross to me, all together. The only problem is the definition of pretty is just as bad, if not worse!

Pretty

(n) 1. an attractive thing, typically a pleasing but unnecessary accessory. 

!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOPE, no thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are two words that you might hand to the woman you love or words that, as a woman you're used to hearing. Even worse, these might be words that you yearn to hear as a woman. 

BUT YOU'RE SO MUCH MORE than beautiful and pretty. 

What is the most extraordinary compliment you've ever received?
