“The thing about people telling you you're beautiful your whole life, is the more that you hear it, the more meaningless it becomes. What does beautiful even mean, anyway? That your features are arranged in a shape someone, somewhere arbitrarily decided is pleasing? Beautiful never quite matches up to the other things you could be, smart, interesting, brave.”
