As different as we all are, theres one thing most young women have in common: were all brought up to feel like theres something wrong with us. Were too fat. Were dumb. Were too smart. Were not ladylike enough – stop cursing, chewing with your mouth open, speaking your mind. Were too slutty. Were not slutty enough.Fuck that.
Youre not too fat. Youre not too loud. Youre not too smart. Youre not unladylike. There is nothing wrong with you.
