• I’m not perfect. I never identified with the way I look; I was just born this way. I don’t feel rejection if I’m not the right person for a job, because that’s not where I find my self-worth.

If you think of the top five people that you care about the most in your life, you probably don’t care if they look good in every angle or photo.
