No matter what you say or think, whether freshly shaven or not, I am beautiful. I let beauty standards dictate how I felt in my skin for too long. I tried insecurity, didn't like it, it left me feeling unhealthy in many ways. Instead I'm working on acceptance for myself the way I am, no matter what anyone says. Acceptance has helped me find more meaning and happiness. Not just acceptance for myself but for everyone. I accept you as you are and applaud anyone working toward acceptance for themselves and others.
