“i want to apologize to all the women i have called beautiful
before i’ve called them intelligent or brave
i am sorry i made it sound as though
something as simple as what you’re born with
is all you have to be proud of

from now on i will say things like

not because i don’t think you’re beautiful
but because i need you to know
you are more than that”
