This is for the women like me.

You and me, we've faced our demons and accepted our flaws. We can admit that we didn't quite know who we were for a while, but through personal trials, we began seeing ourselves and the world around us in a whole new light. We learned of our own beauty, and it flourished in our hearts like the wing beats of one-hundred butterflies.

If you're anything like me, you've got three pairs of good pants, a knee-high stack of comic books, and your hands are always covered in paint and pencil smudges instead of makeup swatches. You used to look at all of the beautiful women around you and ask yourself "Why can't I look like them?" Then you learned how to appreciate the beauty of another woman without diminishing your own. You are your very own kind of beautiful, a totally different spirit. Own it, and let it shine out of you.

Don't get too upset with someone who gets an attitude with you about your daydreaming. Your brain just can't stay in one place; as a result, it wanders off sometimes...but that's OK, we all lose our mind a little sometimes. Additionally, it's perfectly fine to be more interested in cartoons than reality shows. Do reality shows teach friendship and kindness, and the nobility of telling the truth? I think not...

Women like you and I, we love to laugh. Let your laugh be heard loud and proud! So what if your laugh is funny? It will make someone else laugh even harder and then you've been someone's reason to smile. Be your loud, hilarious self, unapologetically. Smile as often as you want, and be as friendly and kind as you want to be! Who cares what other people think? If you've made one person smile you've done a good deed.

Women like me: be weird, be crazy, be artsy. Daydream, live on and don't let anyone stop you. Women like you and I are often overlooked in today's society for women with more beautiful bodies or more symmetrical faces. They are art, but so are we. Embrace your weirdness and don't let anyone try to change you because you are beautiful the way you are
