“Choose one thing you like about yourself… just one thing. No matter how small or seemingly insignificant it is, choose one thing you like about yourself and focus on that." I chose my eyes. My eyes were the one thing I loved about myself when I hated everything else. When I decided that I was tired of hating myself, I focused on my eyes, I focused my eyes, I opened my eyes to all of the beauty and most importantly, to all of the truth that I was so blind to.'"
