“If you only ever take one thing away from me, let it be this: I spent 28 years of my life believing that I was only as beautiful as what was on top of my head. I’m here to tell you now, that’s just a big fat lie. Stop allowing yourself to be restricted by the things that society tells you you should be. If you decide you want to cut your hair, cut it. If you really want that tattoo you’ve been thinking about for so long, get it. And if you wake up one morning and decide you want to shave your head, shave it. You own nothing to no one. I promised myself 2018 would be the year I started to love myself for exactly who I am, and nothing else. Let’s just call this one more step. Besides-Once you love yourself on the inside, it doesn’t matter what the outside looks like. You might just be a little colder when you go outside.”
