Beauty

Today I had to give a speech on a song that meant something to us. I don't understand how I do it, but I literally black out every time I have to give a speech, and I still manage to do a pretty decent job. I'm pretty sure I deserved an F...but I got a B+. The unconscious me must be doing something right!

I wrote the speech based on the song Something Beautiful by Needtobreathe. I actually really love what I wrote the speech about. I based the speech off of the fact that people have different opinions on what is beautiful. For example, one person may find the simplest things beautiful, such as a smile, a hug, or even just a pretty flower. On the other hand, another person may not think any of those things are beautiful, and they may prefer something much more complex such as rock climbing a huge mountain (or something like that). In my speech I quoted a french writer named Stendhal, he said "Beauty is the promise of happiness." I really love this quote because, personally, I think it holds a lot of truth. Being able to find the beauty in every day life is a vital part of happiness. You just have to find something that you think is beautiful and hold on to it. If it makes you happy, fight for it. Fight for the things you think are beautiful, and never let them go.

"Hey now, this is my desire, consume me like a fire, 

'cause I just want something beautiful to touch me,  

I know that I'm in reach 

'Cause I am down on my knees, I'm waiting for something beautiful

 Oh, something beautiful"
