He asked me what I thought of this:
And I replied to him:
What do I say?
I have no need to apply to a website and be judged by people i neither know nor respect as to whether I match their criteria of beauty.
I have discovered over the last 40 years, through painful lessons, that beauty is a thing that goes way beyond the top layer of epidermis.
The first man to tell me I was beautiful was a Brit. Did he say it for the right reasons? Probably not, he broke my heart mere weeks later, although he continued to say it after that.
I try to be a beautiful person through and through. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don't. But the trying is what counts -- it's what makes a person who they are. One who can accept that beauty lies deep within, and does not merely rest on the surface and sparkle for the wider public, has a spark of beauty within them already.
Most importantly and significantly, I am beautiful to you. For all the right reasons.
And that's all that matters.
