I grabbed my backpack, gave my kitten, Kulfi, a big kiss, and rushed out the door.
Beautifully Me
26
My teacher is amazing!
Beautifully Me
27
We did crafts, learned new songs, and took a tour of the library - all before lunchtime.
Beautifully Me
28
I even made a new friend!
Beautifully Me
29
At recess, some kids hop like bunnies.
Beautifully Me
30
Some kids run faster than race cars.
Beautifully Me
31
Some kids climb all the way to the sun.
Beautifully Me
32
It shines like the sun!
Beautifully Me
33
Why is looking fat bad?
Beautifully Me
34
Do I look fat in my overalls?
Beautifully Me
35
I thought about what happened during recess.
Beautifully Me
36
"Uh...it was fine."
Beautifully Me
37
The house smelled delicious!
Beautifully Me
38
When we sat down for dinner, I was so excited to eat the khabar.
Beautifully Me
39
No rice?
Beautifully Me
40
Oh yeah, I forgot.
Beautifully Me
41
I thought about large not being good.
Beautifully Me
42
If they are not beautiful...how could I be?
Beautifully Me
43
Maybe I need to change too.
Beautifully Me
44
And I want to be pretty.
Beautifully Me
45
You are beautiful!
Beautifully Me
46
I don't want kids to make fun of me, too!
Beautifully Me
47
I ran to my room and shut the door.
Beautifully Me
48
My heart felt like it was crying.
Beautifully Me
49
Maybe it wasn't a special day like I'd thought.
Beautifully Me
50
I never thought about why someone would be mean before.
Beautifully Me
51
But sometimes we can be mean to ourselves without even realizing it.
Beautifully Me
52
And when we hurt ourselves, we hurt the people we love and who love us.
Beautifully Me
53
That's what we did to you today, and we're sorry.
Beautifully Me
54
You saw me being unkind to my tummy.
Beautifully Me
55
But I'm grateful for my belly - after all, it helped me carry you and bring you into the world.
Beautifully Me
56
It's hard not to compare myself to other people.
Beautifully Me
57
But I'd rather be me - your sister - than anybody else.
Beautifully Me
58
I shook my head and sniffled.
Beautifully Me
59
"I don't even know what 'beautiful' means anymore," I admitted.
Beautifully Me
60
You get to define what is beautiful.
Beautifully Me
61
Whatever your body looks like, beauty is how you make people feel and the kind things you do.
Beautifully Me
62
A beautiful person is someone who embraces who they are and helps others do the same.
Beautifully Me
63
"I can make the world more beautiful?"
Beautifully Me
64
"Then you all are beautiful!"
Beautifully Me
65
"Just the way you are."
Beautifully Me
66
I gave them a big, big hug.
Beautifully Me
67
Through the window, the moon and the stars smiled down at me.
Beautifully Me
68
Everything was beautiful.
Beautifully Me
69
It was a special day after all.
