“Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling but start. Start and don’t stop. Start where you are, with what you have. Just… start.”
— Ijeoma Umebinyuo

it's extremely important to realize that you were beautiful before someone noticed and you'll remain beautiful in their absence. your beauty is not dependent on who values you for it.
