Appearances

Tell me I’m pretty and I will say thank you and give you a handshake. But tell me I am intelligent, ambitious, generous, passionate, inspiring or funny and I will hug you and cherish that moment forever.

Keeping up with appearances is limiting, and it can create a dark cloud over you 24/7. I think imperfections are beautiful when they’re transparent and honest.

This is the place I am at right now. This is me, and you get what you see.
