The beginning of my op ed

How does one define the word beautiful. Who has the right to determine whether one is beautiful or not. I never really understood how someone could put a label on what is beautiful and what’s not. It comes from the fact that when I was younger I would walk in the street and see so many pretty girls and think to myself, they all look pretty but yet they dont look like each other at all. So was I pretty as well, was someone out there looking at me thinking I was pretty as well. Or did my full lips, big forehead, wide nose and brown skin give me away. It amazes me how someone can look at a woman with a darker complexion and deem her not beautiful enough or not worthy and how many have capitalized on that idea.
