There’s nothing wrong with embracing ugly. It’s okay to feel inferior—we don’t feel ugly or less than because of some deficit in our confidence, we feel that way because we’re systematically trained to believe it. Because society depends on it. Self esteem won’t change that—shifting the culture will.

I needed to hear the bit about it being OK to feel inferior, that it isn’t me that’s broken, it’s society. I needed it like oxygen.
