I saw the best Facebook post a couple of weeks ago. It basically said that if you want to be a beautiful person, you need to be more loving. Otherwise, you’re just pretty (or handsome), which is just saying, “hey, congratulations on your face.”

I love that so so so much.

Beauty isn’t just skin deep. Beauty doesn’t have anything to do with skin at all.

What would the world be like if young people didn’t feel the pressure of being judged by what their skin and bones and hair look like?

What would the world be like if we defined beauty by how much we love, rather than by how much we are loved?

Let’s change the world. Let’s go be beautiful.

And remember: in all things – progress, not perfection!

Love and light,

Maggie

I signed off with “love and light” back when this was originally published and I’m not gonna practice historical revisionism by changing it now.
