reclaim the word ugly. call things ugly out of affection. put on your patchy old jacket every day. thank people when they comment on it. ignore the magazines. wear what makes you happy. chop your hair short. grow it all the way out. shave more. shave less. stop plucking your eyebrows or shave them all the way off. your hair and skin is perfect the way it is. show off your stomach and every roll of your body. eat what you want. smile your biggest smile. show your crooked teeth. laugh deep and loud and cherish every squeak and snort. don’t let another person make you feel like you’re worth less for the way you were made. reclaim the word ugly. those who have been using it don’t know what it means yet.
