I'm beautiful. I'm beautiful because I said I am. I'm beautiful because my eyes crinkle when I throw my head back and laugh boisterously at a stupid joke I made myself. I'm beautiful when I smile lazily and my double chin peeks through the polaroid that effortlessly captures my features. I'm beautiful because, after many years of being told I don't fit into the spectrum of socially accepted beauty, I laughed and told them to **** off. I'm beautiful because all the years of self-loathing and self-doubt erased the moment I said I'm beautiful. I'm beautiful and there isn't a soul alive who can convince me otherwise.

Beautiful: adj. pleasing the senses or mind aesthetically
I'm beautiful. I'm beautiful because I said I am. I'm beautiful because my eyes crinkle when I throw my head back and laugh boisterously at a stupid joke I made myself. I'm beautiful when I smile lazily and my double chin peeks through the polaroid that effortlessly captures my features. I'm beautiful because, after many years of being told I don't fit into the spectrum of socially accepted beauty, I laughed and told them to **** off. I'm beautiful because all the years of self-loathing and self-doubt erased the moment I said I'm beautiful. I'm beautiful and there isn't a soul alive who can convince me otherwise.
