That One Word...

Anyone else out there have that one word or adjective you crave to be called? Maybe I’m just crazy (shush!), but I do. And for me that one adjective is “beautiful.” I don’t know why I crave to be called this. Perhaps it’s because I haven’t heard it very often over the course of my life. I’ve heard “pretty,” “hot,” “sexy,” and “cute,” but not often do I get “beautiful.” And sure, I’ve gotten “pretty,” but eh, to me “beautiful” is like five million notches above “pretty.” To me, “pretty” is used when they aren’t stunning but you want to be nice. 

Come to think of it, I’m not entirely sure I crave “beautiful” just because I’ve rarely been called it. I’ve never been called “stunning,” and if I’ve ever been called “gorgeous” it was only a handful of times. So perhaps it’s just something about that word. 

I’ve joked before with one of my best friends that I’d love for a guy to walk up to me and say, “You are so beautiful. Will you please go on a date with me?” Of course, I’m not used to that word or compliments, so I’d likely be trying to figure out what his game was if that actually ever happened. Haha!

Really though, I have no idea why “beautiful” is such a craving for me. All I do know is that the few times I’ve been called that I’ve lit up with one of the brightest smiles ever.

So, am I the only one? Or do you have a word you crave to be called, too?
