I’m a lightweight, easy to fall easy to break.
I intend to be me. Whatever that is.
You are beautiful not because you are better than others, but because there is only you who can smile like that.
The way I define beauty is individuality and wisdom, which I think creates a certain inner confidence. And not confidence in a way that’s only on the surface, but a deep-down knowing of yourself or settling into who you are.

You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn’t mean you’re defective – it just means you’re human.
It doesn’t have to take over your life, it doesn’t have to define you as a person, it’s just important that you ask for help. It’s not a sign of weakness.
