Self-Love Is Easier than I Thought
<p>My good friend </p>

She called me beautiful, and I had to stifle the desire to correct her. Instead, I thanked Morgan and told her I could use compliments like hers due to my lack of self-confidence.</p>
<p>Then Morgan corrected me. I must have self-confidence, she claimed — all I had to do was observe my life to see it. I write about my transgender journey — even the difficult parts. I wear the clothes that feel right to me — even before I felt comfortable wearing them. I post photographs of myself to social media — even when I don’t believe I am beautiful. All of the above takes self-confidence.</p>
