• I know, now, without a doubt that the true source of happiness, self-worth, and authentic beauty doesn't come from the outside.

I have accepted myself in a world that does not accept me, because I have learned [ . . . ] that our hearts matter most... It's a beautiful heart, not a perfect body, that leads to a beautiful life.
