Watch the video: The beauty of being a misfit by Lidia Yuknavitch | Ted Talks

To those who feel like they don't belong: there is beauty in being a misfit. Author Lidia Yuknavitch shares her own wayward journey in an intimate recollection of patchwork stories about loss, shame, and the slow process of self-acceptance. "Even at the moment of your failure, you are beautiful," she says. "You don't know it yet, but you have the ability to reinvent yourself endlessly. That's your beauty."

said by Lidia Yuknavitch

I agree that the beauty of you lies within you. People want to see you what they like to see in them. So, don't change yourself to be a model for someone who isn't.
