“Don’t worry about being beautiful. There are things so much better than beauty. Be intelligent. Be funny. Be gentle. Be strong. Be forgiving. Be so, so kind. Don’t let the world convince you that your worth is tied to physical appearance. If someone tells you to change yourself, to get a bigger butt or breast implants, to lose weight or wear a certain style of clothing, tell them to screw themselves. You deserve to be happy in your own skin, not a shell someone sculpted for you. So be the best you can be. Be everything great and magnificent in the world. But most importantly, always be unapologetically you.”
