“Sometimes the most beautiful people on this planet hide in plain sight. They stand, from a distance, stepping between the crowds, barely noticed by the masses. There is nothing odd about them, so much so that as they walk through the crowds, nobody even takes a second glance at them. Male or female, young or old, they ghost through the world, passing through the bitter beasts that eat our young, doing their work only when it is necessary. The only way to spot the beauty, is in their eyes. Take the time to stop and look deep into he eyes of one of the ghosts, and you will see solidity, purity, idiosyncrasy and pure beauty. Suddenly that person transcends their gaseous form and stands in front of you, gleaming with brightness. You will be shocked by their presence, almost petrified. Because now you not only see them, but you see the demons. The demons this world has sent out to destroy beauty, to destroy idiosyncrasy. You see the world before you in a different light, and suddenly, you have become one of them. You ghost between the masses, because your mission is more important than being a simple cog in the machine of the world. Their eyes have shown you true beauty, and now, your eyes show it too.”
