I had good grades.
I just had a meeting with an employee of the city counsel and I've got myself an internship there.
And I really feel good about myself.
I don't know what it's like for boys (or men), but I know a thing or two about girls.
Big shocker, I know.
I know for instance that a lot of us girls try to mirror ourselves to cover models.
A lot of us try to be them, want to be them, look like them.
And I think that's wrong.
Don't get me wrong, I used to be one of those girls.
Never good enough.
I still don't think I'm perfect, but now I'm happy with how I look (most of the time), and I believe people should take me for who I am.
A couple of years back, I had this boyfriend who told me I was beautiful.
Deep down I never believed him, back then.
'Cause how could he think I was beautiful, when I myself didn't think I was?
I used to send him quite a lot of pictures, trying to make him say it again, that I was beautiful.
I thought that maybe if he said it enough, I'd believe it too.
Now I believe him.
(Thank you, Jamie.)
And no, I still don't look like a cover model.
But I've got no need for that either.
"If you want to change the world, start with yourself."
I started with myself, now it's up to the rest of the world to do the same.
