I know you think that you eat too much or that you don’t work out enough.

I know you constantly worry about that “pudge” on your stomach or the stretch marks on your legs.

I know you think that your zits are embarrassing or your smile is crooked or your eye is twitchy.

I know you think your teeth aren’t right or you’ve gained weight or your clothes don’t look okay.

I know you worry that your butt is too big or too small and that everyone is looking at you because of your imperfections.

But I know more about you than that.

I know that you are brilliant. I know how well you can write. I know how hard you try. I know how hard you push yourself. I know how dedicated you are. I know how strong you are. I know what you’ve been through and I know that your smile is still real. I know you are tough. I know you are fiercely loyal. I know you are passionate. I know you are wise. I know how hard you work. I know how much you make me laugh. I know that I hold a deep admiration for every one of you and you all inspire me everyday. I know you are all beautiful despite your imperfections and that you are all so much more than your outer beauty. I know your heads are filled with great ideas and dreams. I know that you accept me for who I am and that you are my strongest support system. And I know that we are the best of friends, and best friends forever, we'll always be.
