Listen.

You're beautiful.

And I don't mean just on the inside.

You're outside "their" ideal. But the ideal is made up. Not everyone believes in the ideal.

You don't have to be that ideal. You only need to be your ideal.

Learn to see the beauty in what you have. You might not feel it every day, but it's there inside you.

And might I just say, you have hips to die for.

I decided to name the possum girl that appeared in an Adrian and Hildegard piece. Chelsea is a girl who takes both Adrian's self-defense classes and Hilde's yoga and fitness classes, and is terrible at them.
