why I was Ugly

"are you wearing tights?" This was said in reference to the fact that her legs are dark. She commented on my previous post about insecurities. Her insecurity? Her complexion. So I got into her personal space and I just took pictures of her face. I also did her make-up *wink wink nudge nudge*

"...there were days I absolutely thought I was ugly and some days I thought I was beautiful. Insecurity is your worst enemy as it can eat you up to the point were you don't recognise yourself. I have been dark skinned for almost 22 years now but it's only this year that I've accepted the skin that I live in and realised that dark is indeed beautiful"

You are beautiful. Not because you're dark or light skinned but because you're beautiful. Not in your own way. You're just beautiful. I don't need an excuse for your beauty. An explanation. You simply are my dear human.

Happy Birthday Zamda. I love you and your beautiful quiet strength. Well you are not so quiet any more but you never have to raise your voice to make your point. You never have to be mean to prove you're strong. You just smile very widely, flash your very white teeth and say "whatever". Get a new word.

Stay beautifully classy.
