"You look at yourselfin the mirror and you’reunhappy with what yousee, but I can promiseyou that..."

“You look at yourself

in the mirror and you’re

unhappy with what you

see, but I can promise

you that anyone who is

standing before you will

tell you the opposite

of what you tell yourself.

You want to be newer,

prettier, thinner, but I can

safely say that the only

thing that needs to change

is your mind. You are not

worthless, and you’ve always

been useful, so tell your

head to give your heart a break

for a couple of days. You’ve

been going through a constant

battle with your body, and all

your skin is trying to do is

love you, so love it back.

Tell it everything that the boys

who just wanted a taste told

you, because even if they

wanted you for a moment,

there has always been honesty

in their words. So repeat

those sentences to yourself.

Burn those convincing paragraphs

into your fucking skin because

you deserve to hear the truth.

You are a goddamn storm,

both beautiful and destructive.

And no one can stop you

just because they are masking

the truth with their fear.”
