I am.

All my life,

I don't know that I've ever thought of myself as pretty.

(Taking selfies at work, because I like to remember that I'm happy)

A couple of days ago, I was getting ready, and I looked in the mirror and I thought "When did I get pretty?"

I think it has a little less to do with the fact that I'm doing something different appearance-wise, and a lot more to do with the fact that I am actually happy now.

A friend of mine exclaimed to me "You seem really happy!" And I said "I am!"

I still have acne and sometimes my jeans are a little too tight and I can't figure out how to do eyeliner to save my life.

But here I am, and You have claimed me as beautiful and for the first time, I think I believe it.
