While at camp, Katie introduced me to all the counselors in other cabins since they were her fellow students, and she wanted me to meet her friends. Well, one of the girls she introduced me to had the intorduction of “Seriously, she’s one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met. That girl is amazing.”
Camp was a good month or so ago, and right now, I’m just remembering this; and I’m dwelling on what exactly Katie meant by that introduction. I know she meant her personality, her actions, the person she was–not just the physical appearance–but what exactly was it that made her beautiful? What actions, what demeanour, what did she do to deserve such a title?
Proverbs 31 is the “woman’s chapter,” and there are several other verses in the Bible that detail how a woman should act: caring towards others and her children, not being idle, etc. But what exactly makes a woman beautiful in personality and in character traits and how can I have other people say that about me?

Maybe people’s beauty varies on the person who is looking at them, and how they preseve said person? Like the saying says “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” I suppose

beauty lies in the eye of the beholder

I think inner beauty isn’t something you can TRY for, I think it’s just there or not. And as the other commenters mentioned, it has a lot to do with who the person judging is. I would consider all of my good friends inwardly beautiful, yet I can see how others might not find them so.

Inner beauty is the best kind of beauty. ♥
I’m glad you had fun at camp. Personally, I’ve never been a camp perosn.

I think as long as you’re yourself, inner beauty isn’t hard to come by. When I think ‘inner beauty’ I think of someone who’s caring, affectionate, reasonable, understandable and many other qualities that would just make someone a sweet whole-hearted person. There’s no real way to ‘act’ this way, it all has to come natural. Sure, there are people who are nice to look at but in reality they’re about as shallow as any person possibly can be. It’s that whole theory of “She was cute, until she opened her mouth.” - Inner beauty is when someone opens their mouth and the rest of the people around them don’t cringe, they actually pay attention and get something from it.
I hope I didn’t ramble too much. I wish you luck on your quest for figuring things out.
