“Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.”

Thirty Years Of Growing Pain(s) 
I’ve known some people in my life who are ‘plain’ in appearance when I first met them, but have become more and more beautiful as I’ve got to know them. Spot on!
Thanks, Dianne – I agree wholeheartedly (obviously, duh?! 😉 ). I’ve found it to work the other way around too, though. I know/ knew a girl, who is stunningly beautiful, but over time I’ve come to dispise her (or at least dislike her a lot) for numerous reasons way too long to get into here and somehow, because of this I find her plain now. I really do. She just seems “fake” and “lack luster” and somehow “average at best” although nothing in her looks have change objectively. It’s like my Grandma used to say “Beauty is what beauty does!” 🙂
