“I don’t know why she never believes me when I call her beautiful. Maybe for the same reason I never believe her when she calls me the same. We’re so used to being outside the normal that it’s difficult to see ourselves as anything other than bitterly-remembered insults. It may take a lifetime of calling each other beautiful before we acknowledge that we truly are.” — Courtney M. Privett
