“I post Instagram photos that I think of as testaments to my beauty and then obsessively check the likes to see if the internet agrees.

I want to calculate my beauty to protect myself, to understand exactly how much power and lovability I have.”
― Emily Ratajkowski, My Body

“But artists love what is forbidden to them, a fact I learned too
