Beyonce's a complicated person and it's sad that the world can't look beyond so many surface things when it comes to her. Her quiet strength is so admirable. It's like she takes everything thrown at her, all the hate, jealousy, inappropriate criticisms, cruel treatment, double standards, knit-picking and uses it at a later time to propel her to a new standard in her life. Bey doesn't get content and make excuses. She's the type of person that just want to be her best self. That takes guts! I have nothing but respect for her personal growth over the years. She's the a real woman in the true sense of that word. She values herself, she has compassion, she respects those that laid a foundation for her (mother), she honors those that came before her(legends), she's a real human, a person that has humility, that isn't caught up in all the shallow things that people seem to be impressed with... and if anyone could easily be that way, it's her. She can have just about anything she wants, moneys no object! It's cool how she seems to treasure most of the little things. I know she appears to be this perfect person to some, but I see her as a person who has control and discipline. We can all be that way. Bey's just a great example of it.
