What AESTHETIC mean to me!

 Aesthetics mean a lot to me...

In simple words, aesthetic is something that pleases me. Something which gives me pleasure and happiness.

I often say that this is aesthetically pleasing, when I say that I mean that, it is of my taste and I personally like the way it is. Anything which is aesthetic shows great beauty to me.

Aesthetics can always change. It always depends on our emotions and feelings.

When I say aesthetic I don't mean that it has to be of a particular colour.

We mostly see aesthetics by their colours

There are many types of aesthetics, here are a few:
