The Aesthete

You believe beauty has its own reasons, and you live accordingly. You'll choose the more expensive, less practical thing because it's more beautiful. You own a chair you can't really sit in. You have perfumes you'll never finish. Your books are organized by spine color and you refuse to apologize.

People sometimes call this shallow. They're wrong. You have a sincere, lifelong relationship with beauty that most people never develop.

The quiet truth: beauty and function aren't always enemies. Some of the most beautiful things are also the most useful — and finding those is the real art. You don't have to choose as often as you think.
