People always ask me, ‘You have so much confidence. Where did that come from?’ It came from me. One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl … It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, it’s your home, and you must decorate it.” —Gabourey Sidibe

I applaud you for your courage to go against the grain when it comes to what society defines as beautiful. I’m a full figured woman and I’ve learned to embrace my beautiful self as well. In my opinion beautiful is what it does not what it looks like. Outward beauty can be covering a cold dark heart. Thank you for being my encouragement.
