  1. This story makes me feel like I am who I am and not my appearances or my words or actions are never going to change that.

  3. When you get what you want in your struggle for self,
    And the world makes you queen for a day,
    Just go to the mirror and look at yourself,
    And see what that girl has to say.

    For it isn't your father or mother or friends,
    Whose judgment upon you must pass,
    The girl whose verdict counts most in your life,
    It's the one staring back from the glass.

    ~The Gal In The Glass poem

  11. This talks about more whats inside that counts as beauty than whats outside which is usually what counts and it talks about what you think is beautiful to yourself.
