    “i want to apologize to all the women i have called beautiful
    before i’ve called them intelligent or brave

    is all you have to be proud of
    when you have broken mountains with your wit
    from now on i will say things like
    you are resilient, or you are extraordinary
    not because i don’t think you’re beautiful
    but because i need you to know
    you are more than that”
