Beauty is not skin-deep; it can be a means of self-affirmation, a true indicator of personality and confidence.

True beauty is when someone radiates that they like themselves.

I've said this before, but I believe more than ever that confidence is sexier than any body part.

I think that everyone has something about themselves that they feel is their weakness... their 'disability.' And I'm certain we all have one, because I think of a disability as being anything which undermines our belief and confidence in our own abilities.

Giving up is conceding that things will never get better, and that is just not true. Ups and downs are a constant in life, and I've been belted into that roller coaster a thousand times.

I didn't see how wearing prosthetics was quite so different from being born with flaming red hair in a crowd of black-haired babies, or being of a different religion from that of every other child in your area.
