My Mother Repeated One Idiom Throughout My Life: ‘You Want Beauty, You Don’t Want Life’ - A Reflection on Inner and Outer Beauty. AI-Generated.
Throughout my life, my mother would often repeat a particular idiom that resonated deeply with me: “You want beauty, you don’t want life.” At first, the meaning was lost on me, as many sayings from a mother often are when we are younger. But as I grew older and faced the complexities of life, love, and personal growth, the words took on deeper significance. It became a reflection not just of superficial appearances, but of the profound truths that lie beneath the surface of our desires, choices, and actions. The Meaning Behind the Words The phrase, “You want beauty, you don’t want life,” isn’t just a simple statement about looks or vanity; it’s a life lesson about the deeper values of what it means to live a fulfilling life. My mother, like many parents, wanted me to understand that the pursuit of beauty — whether physical, external, or even fleeting forms of superficial success — often comes with sacrifices that diminish the essence of living fully. What my mother was trying to convey is that, while beauty can be alluring, it is only a temporary and shallow pursuit when disconnected from the deeper, more meaningful aspects of life. Beauty — particularly physical beauty — is a fleeting and fragile thing. It can fade with time, age, and external forces. But life, in all its complexity, is much more than what can be seen on the surface. It encompasses experiences, relationships, and personal growth, things that last long after beauty fades. The Pressure of Societal Expectations In today’s world, we are constantly bombarded with images of perfection. Social media, advertising, and popular culture often place beauty, success, and image at the forefront of our lives. From the airbrushed photographs of celebrities to the curated lives people present online, we are led to believe that beauty — whether it’s body image, fashion, or wealth — is a measure of our worth. This societal pressure to look a certain way, achieve a specific kind of beauty, and maintain that beauty can be overwhelming. Yet, my mother’s words serve as a reminder that these pressures often come at a cost. People who focus solely on external beauty can sometimes find themselves trapped in a cycle of self-doubt, insecurity, and dissatisfaction. Pursuing beauty for beauty’s sake can distract us from the richness of life itself: the joy of learning, the bonds of family, the excitement of personal growth, and the importance of self-love and self-acceptance. Life is full of complexities, challenges, and imperfections, and it’s in navigating these with grace, resilience, and wisdom that true beauty emerges. The Connection Between Inner and Outer Beauty Over the years, I began to understand that beauty and life are intertwined, but not in the way many people think. My mother’s idiom helped me to realize that true beauty is not just skin deep — it is born from within. It is an energy, a way of being, a sense of purpose that radiates outward. People who have lived rich, meaningful lives, who have cultivated kindness, compassion, and authenticity, exude a different kind of beauty than those who have solely focused on appearance. In my own life, I came to appreciate that personal growth and authenticity are the keys to true beauty. As we mature, we realize that external beauty can be fleeting, but the things we learn, the kindness we extend to others, and the strength we build from overcoming life’s challenges are the things that define us in the long run. I also realized that pursuing the deeper aspects of life, such as connection, purpose, and inner peace, leads to a lasting form of beauty. It is the beauty of a life well-lived — one that is filled with rich experiences and meaningful relationships, not just fleeting moments of superficial pleasure. The Power of Perspective As I reflect on my mother’s words, I also think about how they encourage a change in perspective. When we stop measuring our worth solely based on how we look or what others think of us, we begin to live more authentically. Life becomes less about trying to fit into someone else’s idea of beauty and more about embracing who we truly are. We can prioritize the things that truly matter: our health, our relationships, our growth, and our contribution to the world around us. This perspective is liberating. It allows us to live freely, unburdened by societal standards of beauty and success. It allows us to be at peace with ourselves, knowing that true beauty lies in who we are — not in how we are perceived. Embracing the Fullness of Life My mother’s idiom, “You want beauty, you don’t want life,” is a reminder that we should not sacrifice the richness of life for something as fleeting as external beauty. While beauty can be important and is a wonderful aspect of human existence, it should never overshadow the importance of living a fulfilling life. Beauty may come and go, but the essence of life — the experiences, growth, and love we cultivate along the way — remains timeless. As I continue to reflect on my mother’s advice, I am reminded to prioritize what truly matters: cultivating a life that is rich with experiences, relationships, and personal growth. In doing so, we discover a deeper, more lasting form of beauty — the kind that comes from within and grows stronger as we live a life full of meaning and purpose.

KPop Demon Hunters
Okay so I’ve been hearing about nothing but KPop Demon Hunters since it came out. The kids I teach loved it, my cousin loved it, my roommate loved it. So I knew that it would at the very least get some popularity nominations so I knew I had to watch it.

Before Supernatural And The Boys, Eric Kripke Created This Short-Lived Tarzan Series
Eric Kripke makes shows that tend to go the distance, but his career hasn't always been synonymous with hits. Before finding success with shows like "Supernatural" and "The Boys," he, Mike Werb, and Michael Colleary created a one-season wonder in the form of "Tarzan," which aired on The WB back in 2003. Aside from starring two future television stars in Travis Fimmel and Sarah Wayne Callies, "Tarzan" boasted a surprisingly strong cast: a pre-"Gossip Girl" Leighton Meester, Mitch Pileggi ("X-Files" and "Stargate Atlantis"), and Lucy freaking Lawless!

The Night I Stopped Waiting for Wings
I was fifteen the first time I saw the wings. It was 2009. My best friend and I huddled in her basement, sharing a bag of chips, eyes glued to the TV as women in glitter and lace walked like they owned the air itself. They were radiant, powerful, untouchable. One wore wings so wide they brushed the stage lights; another smiled like she held the secret to happiness itself.

The Materialists
Ya know when this movie first came out I thought what a shame it is that Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans were even in this movie. Because I love both of them and they are fantastic actors but the person that ties their characters together is Dakota Johnson and she’s just such a bad actress.

Sunny Deol Gets Emotional at "Border 2" Song Launch; Reveals His Current State After Dharmendra’s Demise. AI-Generated.
In a poignant moment at the launch event of the much-anticipated song from Border 2, actor Sunny Deol opened up about the emotional turmoil he’s been facing following the passing of his beloved father, the legendary Dharmendra. A true pillar of the Indian film industry, Dharmendra’s demise left an irreplaceable void in not only the Deol family but also in the hearts of millions of fans across the globe. As Sunny Deol sat before the media at the Border 2 event, the star—usually known for his intense and powerful on-screen presence—was visibly emotional. The actor, who had just recently finished shooting for the film, spoke about how the loss of his father had affected him deeply. In his own words, Sunny revealed, “Mera dimaag hila hua hain,” which roughly translates to "My mind is shaken." For a man of his stature, known for his reserved nature, these words were a raw, unfiltered expression of the grief he has been enduring in private. The Impact of Dharmendra’s Death on Sunny Dharmendra, often referred to as the “He-Man of Bollywood,” was not just an iconic actor but also a father who shaped Sunny and his brother Bobby Deol’s careers. Sunny has always been incredibly close to his father, a relationship that many fans had admired. The emotional weight of Dharmendra’s passing has left Sunny grappling with the reality of life without the guiding presence of his father. Though Sunny’s father had lived a full life and had been part of the entertainment industry for decades, his loss has still been a heavy blow. While discussing the ongoing shooting of Border 2, Sunny Deol spoke about how his emotional state affected his ability to focus. He shared that he had moments when filming scenes felt impossible, as the grief made him question everything. “Life has changed. I can’t deny that,” he admitted. Yet, despite the intense emotional upheaval, Sunny continued to fulfill his professional commitments, reminding himself of the legacy Dharmendra had left behind in the industry. Sunny’s resilience became a topic of admiration during the event, as he talked about how important it was to continue with the work and honor his father’s legacy through his films. The Emotional Tribute at the Launch At the song launch for Border 2, the atmosphere was charged with a mixture of excitement for the film’s upcoming release and a sense of sadness. The event, which was attended by the film’s cast and crew, was a tribute to both the film’s success and the memory of Dharmendra. Sunny Deol, with his eyes occasionally brimming with tears, took a moment to reflect on how much his father’s guidance had meant to him and how he still felt his presence with him. In his address, Sunny emphasized the importance of family in the midst of sorrow. He spoke about how Dharmendra's values, such as hard work, integrity, and humility, had been instilled in him and how they helped him cope with his current emotions. “I don’t have the words to describe how empty I feel, but I find solace in knowing that my father’s teachings guide me every day,” he shared. Family support during such a challenging time has been essential for Sunny. Bobby Deol, his younger brother, stood beside him throughout the emotional exchange at the launch event. The Deol family has always been a strong, tight-knit unit, and the bond between the brothers remains as unbreakable as ever. Both Sunny and Bobby have said that while the grief is overwhelming, they find comfort in their shared memories of their father, and these moments keep them going. A Legacy That Lives On The legacy of Dharmendra is so deeply embedded in Bollywood culture that it will continue to live on in the hearts of film lovers for generations. Dharmendra’s contribution to Indian cinema was immeasurable, and his impact on the world of acting, filmmaking, and family values has been profound. Sunny, who has often been compared to his father due to their similar on-screen presence, has carved out his own identity in the film industry. He’s known for his deep, intense roles and has established himself as an action icon, much like Dharmendra once did. But as much as he’s his own person in the film industry, there’s no denying that Sunny’s work is deeply influenced by his father’s legacy. In light of Dharmendra’s death, Border 2 has gained an even more significant place in Sunny’s career. It is seen as not just another film but also a way for Sunny to honor his father’s work and continue his journey in the industry. The emotional connection that Sunny feels to the project adds a personal layer to the film’s storyline, and it will undoubtedly resonate with audiences. A Grieving Son and an Unforgettable Legacy As Sunny Deol continues his journey in the film industry, the impact of losing his father will likely stay with him for a long time. However, as he has shown, his resilience and commitment to his craft have been his guiding lights. While Dharmendra’s absence leaves a profound hole, the love and teachings he passed down to his sons will forever remain, and with it, the legacy of one of Bollywood’s most iconic figures. For now, Sunny Deol’s words at the Border 2 song launch continue to reverberate in the hearts of fans. “Mera dimaag hila hua hain,” he said, expressing the raw grief of a son who has lost his father. Yet, in this sadness, Sunny’s resolve to honor his father’s legacy, and the strength of his family, shows the enduring bond that will live on through both his personal journey and his professional accomplishments.
