What about the person on the inside?
I wish we lived in a world where people are recognised for who they are inside more than what they look like. The pressures of this image-driven world make it even tougher for people like me to feel good about their bodies. I have had a tough time learning to accept my disability and dealing with the impact it has had on my confidence and self-esteem. I happen to think that the most attractive thing about a person is that no matter what they have had to cope with, at the end of it all, they are still smiling and are out there living their lives the best they can. I just wish everyone could see it that way.
