I used to think that being beautiful was looking like a Barbie doll.

I wanted blonde hair, perfect teeth, blue eyes, and a perfect body.

It occurred to me that most people don't look like Barbie.

I still haven't figured it out.

What I did figure out was that none of that matters at all. I'm beautiful if I want to be, and not because someone said I am.
