there is nothing wrong with being “ugly”

it doesn’t mean anything other than not fitting a social conception of what beauty is: but yes, not all of us fall into that category

I think that is another word we have to stop running from like it is going to bite us if we associate with it, to some extent

I can be “ugly” and I can still be worthy of every respect.  I don’t need people to reassure me all the time that everyone is beautiful on the outside too- yes I know this, but yes, on some level I am a bit ugly and society is never going to change quick enough for this not to be a part of my identity and how I walk through the world.   But don’t try to use my insecurities to silence me.   Perhaps I am ugly.   Hideous.   Sure.   What can you say now?   Is that all you have?   Is that supposed to be enough to break me and kill my confidence?   Why
