Falling in love was simple; one had only to yield. Digesting another person, however, and sustaining love, was bloody work, and not a soft job.
Hanif Kureishi, Midnight All Day
Sometimes when I feel ugly I remind myself that I’ve just gotten used to my own beauty. One day someone will see me and will see a skin complexion they’ve never seen before, or a nose that curves in a way they’ve never seen before, or hair that falls in a way they’ve never seen before. My beauty will be new, exciting, and fresh in their mind. Everything I’ve gotten used to seeing everyday for nearly 17 years will be a new experience for them. I will be beautiful. I am beautiful.
