“I would never change my laugh lines. While many things in life are out of our control, the only thing we can control is how we react to them. Facing challenges with positivity, and thus positively impacting lives, is what gives me purpose in life. Oftentimes, all it takes is a simple, genuinely joyful smile. So the little creases around my eyes don’t bother me one bit. What matters is that I, and the people around me, feel the warmth, connection, love and comfort behind the smile.”
“I don’t subscribe to the beauty standards has set for , so into those gendered, ableist beauty ideals.”
