they may try to negate you, imitate you, make you feel worthless, call you names. but i say sprinkle your sparkle over all you encounter, see your sister in those who don't know, who have buried the secret of their own beauty. bust out in your boldest you, even if it's to just speak your truth. take the time, as much as possible to check out your profile in store windows, put on your sexiest when you're feeling low, try a color you were always told you shouldn't, write "I LOVE YOU" in lipstick on your bathroom mirror...and make sure you laugh loud and free with your head held back, full moon in your eyes...
