What's Desirable

Is the structured that is considered the norm for beauty, or is the variance in the unity of beauty what makes it beautiful?I don't have the simple answers but it's the standard unattractive that I consider attractive, actually sexy, or rather something that I want to possess and make mine.

Is it only me that sees the beauty in the unobvious? A misshapen object, not fired to the absolute in the kiln and instead letting nature warm it and taking a shape of its own, is like a man that does not fall into the standard tall and handsome category, which actually makes it more appealing.

Is it because his beauty is more dimensional than like the object which is sharp-lined, fired and hued right. The standard beautiful is just so boring, desired by all, its beauty is not sharpened by life's blows at a young age through rejections for being considered short, ugly, too thin, gangly, too much of a nerd.

Every rejection is a scar. Each scar is a story, a conversation. Time is what moulds these objects, with weathering they become the most beautiful objects, but one needs to spend time to look past the obvious physical flaws. How is it that what I possess, suddenly becomes the object of desire?

Is it because my discerning eye has seen what was after all, so obvious, or do only some like me have the gift to love that which others consider ugly but will want it only when possessed by someone else.

Is the misshapen vase more desirable only when it sits on my mantlepiece?
