For a moment, I debated whether I should tell someone about the words I'd started writing down, but I couldn't. In a way, I felt ashamed, even though my writing was the one thing that whispered okayness in my ear. I didn't speak it, to anyone.

About This Quote

We all know that there are people who feel shameful or embarrassed about their body. If someone or something tells you that you are beautiful, that's great! However, what if you hear the same thing from someone who you don't know? Or, what if you hear the exact same thing from another person, but they are saying it with a completely different tone? You might think that they are trying to make you feel better, but it could be that they are not telling you the truth. Some people will say pretty much anything to make someone happy.
