A 4 o'clock Tea in the Tower of Shalott

"Beauty is not that important."
That's what a lot of people think, or at least say.
Well, I don't think so. I think, beauty is one of the most important things, if not THE most important thing on earth. By "Beauty" I don't mean the person-being-attractive-beauty. I mean Beauty as something we enjoy and love just for itself, without any reason. Like the beauty of literature. The beauty of a garden. The beauty of music. The beauty of certain feelings.
Beauty is actually what we live for. Every single human being in this world aims towards one out of two goals: Either creating something they consider beautiful or, when they think they can't create beautiful things, the destruction of what other people consider beautiful.
Recently, I saw one of the most beutiful things I've ever seen: a moth was flying around in an empty glass of wine, while just a little bit of light from the kitchen lamp was throwing reflections in the glass.

So, I made a list of things or people I find beautiful:
- Dita von Teese
- The poem "Ghost" by Emilie Autumn
- Valeria Lukyanova without makeup
- The voice of Montserrat Caballé
- Valeria Lukyanova with makeup
- "Paradise Lost" by John Milton
- The voice of Valeria Lukyanova
- The taste of Earl Grey with milk and honey
- The feeling you get while drinking a warm cup of coffee when it's snowing outside
- Driving over the fields by bike while being slightly tipsy listening to Lana del Rey
- Salvador Dalí and his paintings
- Emilie Autumns smile
- Shakiras smile
- Seeing my friends smile
- The feeling you get when you receive a letter from a friend
- Snow
- The smell of Dita-von-Teese-perfumes
- The smell of the "Prime and Fine Illuminating Base" by Catrice
- Getting a hug from a friend

What do you find beautiful? What does Beauty mean to you? Do you see beauty as something important?

Have a beautiful day, Beautifuls :) <3
