It doesn’t make sense to call ourselves ugly,
because we don’t really see ourselves. We don’t watch
ourselves sleeping in bed, curled up and silent with chests
rising and falling with our own rhythm. We don’t see
ourselves reading a book, eyes fluttering and glowing. You
don’t see yourself looking at someone with love and care
inside your heart. There’s no mirror in your way when
you’re laughing and smiling and happiness is leaking out of
you. You would know exactly how bright and beautiful you are if
you saw yourself in the moments where you are truly
yourself.
