Reshma, USA

"I was in the grocery story, in the middle of bagging my avocados, wearing my workout clothes. A beautiful older woman came up to me. She said “It’s just not fair.” I looked at her confused and asked “Excuse me?” “It’s just not fair. You’re so beautiful and you have such long legs too.” I have been conscious about my chicken legs for years, and truthfully I didn’t ever feel completely beautiful. But if this stranger could come up to me for no apparent reason, having felt compelled to tell me this, well then, maybe I am beautiful. Maybe I do have beautiful legs. Needless to say I walked through that store like Beyoncé on stage."
