Be Like Bella
I think it’s a worthy goal. Bella is not my favorite character, but I do understand her and love the others as I see them through her eyes. When I see her through Edward’s eyes, she becomes a person worth emulating.
She’s naturally lovely, something she is completely unaware of (and even disbelieves), and she never tries to change her appearance or impress anyone with cosmetics or fashion.
She is intelligent and does her best at her school-work without showing off, and has a love for classic literature.
She’s been raised in low-to-medium income homes and has no problem with that. Extravagance is unnecessary and unwanted.
She is kind and thoughtful. She thinks before she speaks, if she speaks at all. She doesn’t gossip or say hurtful words to or about others.
She appreciates the good qualities of her parents, loving them regardless of their short-comings, and does her best to fill the need without complaint.
She hates to show vulnerability, but does not act out of character to hide her heart.
She loves those who believe themselves to be unloveable, seeing them for who they truly are, giving them the chance to grow and strengthen.
She is consistent in her actions. After taking time to choose, she sticks to her decisions, defending them stubbornly when necessary.
As Edward realizes by studying her words, actions, and expressions, she is good through and through.
