Beastly

Beastly

This modern day story is similar to Disney's Beauty and the Beast. A tale of a man cursed as a beast until he has found love. If he does not find it before time runs out, he shall forever remain a beast. The portrayal of it in this book has my mind wrapped around it. I simply could not put the book down when I read it. By far it has to be my favorite book yet. The hope within the young boy and the urge to be so kind and gentle and just be understood. He comes to care for his teacher and his house keeper. In a way, his mirror. The one girl he showed kindness to before he was cursed becomes the object of his love. He wishes to impress her and as Aladdin does, show her the world. Show her his garden. The beauty of it. His creation of a small rose he'd named after her. She isn't fearful of him nor does she see a monster. She speaks to him and slowly begins to fall for him. Not because of his features, but because of his heart.

In the end, it doesn't matter what you look like. It's about your heart. Doesn't matter if your rich or poor. It's about the love. No one can replace the feeling in your heart or stop you from loving someone. If you truly feel it, then don't let anyone stop you from pursuing it. Your heart is what matters. If you're an overweight man or woman, someone out there is looking for you and I can promise you that they're not looking at your appearance. They are looking at your heart. Doesn't matter what size or height you are. It's what's on the inside that counts.

The heart has no boundaries. A criminal can find love and be brought to their knees because of the power of it. Where there is love, life begins. We are all born alone. Searching for our other half. We may find it, but the timing is wrong. It's okay to keep it simple for awhile and to get where you're going in life before asking your half to take a journey with you. With that journey comes adventure. Each is different. Preserve those memories with photos and videos. And remember, it's never too late.


We all need someone at the end of the day.
