"I don't wear high heel shoes or pretty dresses or get mani/pedis or shave. I roll out of bed and maybe shower if I smell and brush my teeth. My hair dries itself in the breeze and usually I see putting on makeup as a colossal waste of my time and money, but I still love my jewelry. My fingers are perpetually calloused and my nails are perpetually dirty. I wear sandals with chipped orange and purple polish or black boots and I'll wear the same holey black jeans for a week straight along with some shirt I probably thrifted because I'm poor and also because I refuse to fund an exploitative fashion industry. I carry a giant tattered hippie bag slung over my shoulder and laden with at least one book and my journal and probably some crosswords and my smokes. And when I walk down the street I try not to size up other girls, but I do try to hold my head up high and remind myself that I'm just as good as everyone else."
"And I don't care about how much money you have or your job or your car or your lack of six-pack abs- I care about your personality, your sense of humor, your interests, and your ability to act like a decent human being."
