“And if you can’t see anything beautiful about yourself, get a better mirror, look a little closer, stare a little longer. Because there’s something inside you that made you keep trying despite everyone who told you to quit. You built a cast around your broken heart and signed it yourself, you signed it, ‘they were wrong’. Cause maybe you didn’t belong to a group or a clique, maybe they decided to pick you last for basketball or everything, maybe you used to bring bruises and broken teeth to show-and-tell but never told; because how can you hold your ground if everyone around you wants to bury you beneath it, you have to believe that they were wrong.”
