Siempre quise que todos fueran felices.
Encendí velas en cumpleaños que no eran míos,
envolví regalos con manos que nunca recibieron,
y llené el silencio de otros con consuelo y ternura.
Escuché hasta que mi propia voz olvidó su sonido,
ofrecí pedazos de mí como si fueran infinitos.
Pero cuando la música se detuvo
y la sala quedó vacía,
solo encontré a una persona allí
a mí, y el eco silencioso de todo lo que entregué.

Ever since I was a little girl, I had always wanted to be pretty. To be a beautiful princess, a tall and irresistible super model, the gorgeous actress of a telenovela, or the weather girl that always looks fantastic, even though that's not really the purpose of her job.
Laughing, dreaming, and playing silly games. All that to grow up in a society where they DEMAND YOU to be pretty because if you aren't, you'll never be good enough. In a society where you are judged by your looks and not by your skills, where you are treated as a ****** object.
I didn't mean that when I said I wanted to be pretty!
Being catcalled, sexually and psychologically harassed, **** attempts... and the list continues.
Everytime, going out with fear, dressing as covered as possible, crossing to the other side of the street and being forced to be extremely prejudiced with people, because you never know if you are going to be the next victim.
I DON'T WANNA BE PRETTY ANYMORE.
I wanna be smart, capable, kind, loving, respectful, honest, funny, creative, generous, strong, loyal, determined, humble...
But above all, I wanna be
RESPECTED FOR WHO I AM.
