I know you probably won't see this because I'm a little late to the party but...

I wanted to let you know that this post changed my life a little.

I have spent my entire life afraid to go out in public, to show my face to friends or strangers alike, because of how I look. Because I didn't conform to beauty standards.

I dropped out of high school because I didn't want people to see me.

I felt ugly inside and out.

I didn't understand that most girls my age wore makeup and maybe if they didn't I wouldn't look so terrible in comparison. I didn't know makeup and tailored clothing and professional haircuts were some of the 'remedies' I could prescribe myself in order to make going outside more tolerable.


I hope some day you do all the stuff you'd do if you looked like Jennifer Lawrence, because I hope your fantasy included more than letting everyone ogle you.

This line meant so much to me.

I've spent my entire life waiting to look like a real person. Waiting for my acne to go away. Waiting for my severely underweight body to put on some weight. Waiting for my hair to not be so ugly, and my clothes to look like everyone else's.

And the only thing any of that would accomplish is allowing people to ogle me.

Sure, it would give me confidence but being pretty is not required for doing what I want with my life. It's just not required.

Thank you.

I hope you are well. You are a very intelligent person and it means a lot that you typed this post.
