The one thing that becomes painfully clear as you get older

The one thing that becomes painfully clear as you get older is the fact that people are not beautiful for how they look or how they speak. They're beautiful for how they love and how they care and treat the people around them. See, when you're young, you chase faces, charm, right? Whoever looks the part. But none of that actually lasts. The pretty people can be the cruelest, and I'm sure we're all aware of that. The most charming can be the most empty. Real beauty is how someone makes you feel and how consistently they can do that. How they show up when it's hard, right? And they treat people who can truthfully do nothing for them back. That real level of selflessness that's rare nowadays. See, that's the one thing that you start to notice with age. Pretty is going to fade no matter what, but character doesn't.
