Beauty

Society has taken beauty and made it into something that is unrealistic and unattainable. Magazines create an image that make us believe beauty is photoshopped, skinny, tan and flawless. This is not beauty. Beauty is inside of us, not on us. Have the courage to say, "I am beautiful just the way I am."

 

The following is an excerpt from 642 Things to Write About.

 

Write a scene that begins: "Joe was the last person on Earth I expected to do that."

 

Joe was the last person on Earth I expected to do that. I mean, everyone always expects this kind of thing from his brother, John, but never from Joe.

Joe, up until this moment, was a straight A student with a clean criminal record. He always followed the rules and tried, without success, to get John to do the same.

Some say Joe was overcome by an adrenaline rush and participated in these scandelous activities under the influence of too much energy.

Others say he was pressured by his superiors or it was part of rush or he was blackmailed into it.

Whatever the case, Joe committed a crime punishable by many years of prison, if he was caught. After years of being smart, he instantly found a way out of getting caught by the police.

Joe's life changed the day he participated in a street race, where he drove 87 km over the speed limit while under the influence of a certain drug.

Of course none of this can be proved, but a reliable source states they heard him mumble something along those lines when he got out of the vehicle after his race.
